Master Thesis The Effects of Various Intelligent Transportation Systems Applications on the Transportation Disadvantaged Groups(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2023) Özsoy, Damla; Duvarcı, YavuzMany applications developed within the framework of Smart Transportation are developed to facilitate urban journeys and reduce costs. However, Intelligent Transportation Systems applications have not always been the applications that can be easily used by disadvantaged groups. With this study, it is aimed to develop technological suggestions to the discriminatory effects of ITS applications on the disadvantaged in general, transportation disadvantaged, and non-disadvantaged individuals, address to their special needs and the problems faced by individuals. Descriptive statistics, category analysis and One-way Anova Test were used as methods. According to the results, more than half of the disadvantaged individuals are unfamiliar with the concept of Intelligent Transportation Systems. The applications they use while traveling or in public transportation are the applications that they physically see, know, and use in their daily lifestyles in the city, or their use has become mandatory. Transportation disadvantaged groups generally know about ITS applications and use them actively during the day. It is understood from the problems observed in the city of Izmir that the development of spatial applications rather than mobile and web applications for the disadvantaged groups, the elimination of the malfunctions of Smart stops and Smart pedestrian buttons and the installation of new ones at smart stops, addressing the traffic congestion by making alternative transportation solutions, etc. In addition, smart stops, passenger information boards, smart passenger button, Green man, new map applications, Barrier-Free Smart Transportation, WeWalk, Horus, New public transportation vehicles should be implemented for the city of İzmir.Master Thesis The Effects of Navigation Systems on Traffic Congestion Using Real-Time Data: Case of İzmir(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Yang, Chaewon; Duvarcı, YavuzThis study tries to define the effects of navigation systems in urban traffic through city area in İzmir, using Google maps. Navigation systems, especially with real-time traffic data is relatively new, and user's rate has been sharply increased along with a spread of smartphone. However, there is no deep understanding of the navigation systems, yet. Therefore, people who utilize navigation systems while driving might trigger unexpected merits and demerits. The study is conducted on two different scales; (1) commuting trips in the overall city (16 km in a straight line) and (2) short trip in the central business district (2 km in a straight line). Within the study area, the hypothetical trips are generated and the data of travel time and a travel distance of each trip suggested by Google maps is gathered. Compared the data, it is defined that how much time could be saved and how long additional travel distances are caused by Google Maps. Besides, the possible problem in the local streets is investigated. In a narrow local street, the environment should be pedestrian-friendly and suitable for low-speed vehicles, however, navigation systems would lead drivers into the local street. We discover how long are local streets used by the recommendation of the navigation system. The result shows that during peak hours, the travel time travel distance is longer compared to the off-peak hours. Also, it indicates that by using Google Maps, drivers could save travel time while they drive the longer travel distance during peak hours.
