Abstract

In the current situation, urbanization is the most desirable way of life, which has led to an increase in urban population, disproportionate expansion of cities, and environmental problems, including increased pollution from transportation, reduced fuel consumption, and consequently reduced emissions are the most serious threats. Sustainable urban development is a common way to cover some of these threats and can improve the economic, social, and environmental conditions of the city. The main aim of the study is to investigate the methods of reducing fuel consumption in the field of transportation. In this regard, various approaches and methods have been proposed by researchers. But with the advent of information and communication technology and intelligent transportation systems, these techniques and approaches have taken a new direction. Today, solutions to reduce fuel consumption using intelligent transportation systems have become one of the most popular fields of science. The aim of this study was to evaluate the dimensions of urban ecology to achieve the quality of a sustainable urban environment and to provide suggestions for reducing the harmful effects on the environment by the transportation system.
