Traffic Management System and Travel Demand Management (TDM) Strategies: Suggestions for Urban Cities in Bangladesh

[[abstract]]ABSTRACT Travel demand management (TDM) has come out as a policy choice for solving transportation and traffic congestion problems by reducing and restricting travel demand instead of increasing the transportation facilities. Using the secondary literature, this paper aims to address TDM strategies to overcome some of the prevalent challenges of transportation and traffic management (TTM) systems in the context of developing countries. It explores the potential contributions of TDM strategies to provide some policy guidelines towards a sustainable TTM system, especially in the context of developing countries. Finally the paper suggests emphasizing TDM strategies to ensure better TTM systems which can play significant positive roles in the context of a developing country like Bangladesh
