Transportation Planning Opportunities for Al-Jadriya Intersection through City Information Modelling Techniques

Particularly in the twenty-first century, it is imperative to stay up to date with the constant and rapid advancements in technology.City Planners can now make decisions more swiftly, precisely, and economically based on new technologies such as City Information Modeling.This technology makes it easier to quickly retrieve and integrate information, which improves the accuracy of the conclusions and reduces the level of errors and clashes between different planning specialties.This research examines the application of city information modeling technology in the transportation sector.This research employs a case study: Al-Jadriya Intersection in Iraq.It carries out traffic surveys for data gathering.Data was gathered during official holidays, working hours, and different times of the day and night to identify periods of peak traffic.Afterwards, planning and traffic solutions were put into practice through simulations.The solutions took many different forms.They indicate that governments should support contemporary transportation strategies, such as carpooling & ride sharing strategy, which encourages people to drive fewer personal vehicles.It should also develop areas for public transportation.It should also build more bridges and tunnels.The study reveals that the best way to reduce traffic congestion is to immediately implement plans for public transportation.It also finds that widening streets, constructing bridges, and digging tunnels are only temporary fixes, with their effects remaining localized to the study area.These methods also make it more difficult to achieve new traffic nodes and transfer traffic congestion to neighboring areas.In addition, creating cutting-edge transportation solutions, such as ride sharing could help lessen traffic congestion on a regular basis.
