To achieve a sustainable traffic management and sustainable transportation planning in urban areas one of the tools that can be used effectively is Geographic Information Systems. In Turkey Transportation Department under Civil Engineering deals with roads and railways which are open to public such as inner city and outer city traffic arrangements with General Directorate of Security. This paper aims to analyze road traffic accident distribution according to the vehicle types involved in the accidents for urban areas in sample of Osmaniye, Turkey. While chi-square test is used for non-spatial analysis kernel density, nearest neighbor distances and K-function analysis are applied to determine the existence of clustering and hotspots. The network statistics are executed through SANET (Spatial Analysis on a NETwork) V4.1 that runs on ArcMap 10 and for better visualization and understanding the analysis 3D analysis are generated in ArcScene 10. It is realized that the accidents involving two-wheeled vehicles have a high percentage in all accidents. Also the possible reasons to use two-wheeled vehicles at a high rate in the city center are searched by Location Quotient Technique. The importance of this study is to use GIS as a management system for accident analysis with statistical analysis methods.

Public transport improvement policies : assessment of the role of route and fare integration, modal reorganization with special emphasis to İzmir case
Öncü, Mevlüde Ayça; Babalık, Ela; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2007)
Public transport improvement and new public transport management approaches are accepted as the most effective tools in order to cope with the urban transportation problem threatening sustainable urban life and efficient functioning of urban areas. The need for new solutions to replace, or support, costly new capacities created two new concepts at the two ends of the transportation phenomenon; Travel Demand Management (TDM) on the demand side and Transportation System Management (TSM) at the supply side. Th...
Location–routing and synchronization problems in city logistics
Farham, Mohammad Saleh; Süral, Haldun; Department of Industrial Engineering (2020)
City logistics aims to improve urban freight transportation by considering the costs and benefits of public and private sectors, consolidating segmented freight shipments, and integrating the individual actors in a collaborative environment. This thesis studies network design problems in city logistics systems to address managerial challenges in urban freight transportation. We consider two network design schemes, namely the one and the two-echelon distribution networks, to formulate strategic and tactical ...
Political and legal documents for ensuring sustainable urban transportation: a comparative analysis of USA, UK and Turkey
Yılmaz, Begüm; Babalık, Ela; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2011)
Principle of sustainability, as in all areas, is becoming a major issue in urban transportation planning all around the world. Urban transportation political and legal documents are statutory basis of urban transportation plans and projects and developed countries have established urban transportation political and legal documents to ensure that local governments implement plans and projects in line with the sustainability principle. In this thesis, it is intended to analyze the sufficiency of central gover...
Sustainability of urban regeneration in Turkey: Assessing the performance of the North Ankara Urban Regeneration Project
Korkmaz, Cansu; Balaban, Osman (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01)
The increasing environmental footprints of cities necessitated the integration sustainability principles into urban planning and development frameworks. The growing attention on urban sustainability also influenced the policy and the practice of urban regeneration. The quest for new methods for regenerating existing urban quarters in sustainable manners resulted in the concept of sustainable urban regeneration. The concept aims to develop urban regeneration projects in line with the three key pillars of sus...
Characteristics of cloverleaf interchange in Turkey
Yalçın, Esra Gözde; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye; Department of Civil Engineering (2018)
Level of Service (LOS) is a qualitative key attribute for monitoring traffic performance of road infrastructure. As interchanges are major but rather limited designs in road networks, providing uninterrupted flow with high capacities, there is a no LOS concept developed for them. However, data collection capability via Bluetooth (BT) readers located at interchange approaches make it possible to collect continuous speed and travel time data for all possible movements, which can lead to a measure for LOS for ...
