PLANNING FACTORS AFFECTING METROPOLITAN TRAFFIC
IMPROVEMENT
(CASE STUDY: METROPOLIS OF TABRIZ)
Sina Darban Khales 1
Abstract: In modern urban planning,
traffic management and planning are
considered essential elements in urban
planning and design. In fact, there is an
increasing need to consider and apply
certain policies for traffic system
improvement in the modern urban
planning and management due to the
important role of urban roads and their
direct relationship with population
growth in cities. The urbanization
phenomenon in Iran and the increasing
number of automobiles in its cities have
led to an exponential growth in urban
traffic, which is the main concern of
urban managers in Tabriz Metropolis in
this country. Considering the current
conditions in Tabriz, this study attempts
to evaluate the traffic management and
planning strategies in this city. Desk and
field research methods were used for
data collection. The related data was then
analyzed using SPSS through the one-
sample t-test and regression analysis.

The mean value of the studied indicators
for traffic planning improvement is 4.56,
which is higher than the average and
indicates the important role of the factors
affecting traffic control planning
improvement in Tabriz. Finally,
CORSIM was used to examine the high-
traffic areas of Tabriz and evaluate the
traffic volume reduction rate in this city.

Introduction
Traffic is an internationally
known term referred, in law, to the
passage of vehicles, persons and animals
on roads. It consists of three elements:
human, road, and vehicle, without each
of which there would be no phenomenon
called traffic. Studies have shown that
the best way to control traffic and
minimize its consequences is to use three

groups of factors that can be prescribed
to improve the current poor traffic
condition in Iran. These factors are:
1. Traffic engineering
2- Law enforcement
3- Training
In traffic engineering, roads and
intersections are constructed or
renovated to ease traffic congestion.
Traffic signals are installed and road
markings are made. Teaching
international traffic rules and regulations
to all classes of society, including the
general public, government officials, and
managers plays a very effective role.
In fact, the communication
network and the transportation and
traffic system, as an integral part of
urban areas with whether organic or
predetermined designs, show the
dynamicity of an urban complex [1].
This network is mixed with the daily
lives of people in such a way that it is
almost impossible to imagine a world
without mobility [2]. Policies,
opportunities and possible strategies that
can be used as the basis for discussion
about sustainable and desirable urban
transportation and traffic include:
rational location and distribution of
urban land use, determining congestions,
developing pedestrian crossing facilities,
training and cultural development,
generated traffic, urban traffic flow
guidance (diverting traffic from densely
populated areas), urban road network
and urban decay, parking prediction,
urban road network planning, freight
forecasting and planning in the urban
road network, predicting the needs of the
disabled and the elderly, the role of
transport in improving the
environmental quality, focusing on the
role of the transportation network in
disaster management, integration of
intra-city transport service management,
creation of special lines for the public
transportation system, and the use of
modern technologies and decision
support systems. These factors, i.e.
regulatory-managerial factors, proper
design of roads and intersections, land
use, population density, training and
cultural development, integrated
management of public transportation,
urban texture and environmental
management are, in fact, considered by
the sample population to have improved
traffic planning and control.
In modern urban planning,
traffic management and planning are
considered essential elements in urban
