1. Introduction
5.0 Conclusions
Air pollution is a perineal problem in the globe and is predominantly due to road transport. The present study proposed a conceptual framework for travel behavior model, which applies to any road infrastructure set-up. The study provides information dissemination on the travel behavior of road commuters. The proposed framework in the present study is supported by the Theory of Interpersonal Behavior (TIB). TIB constructs are operationalized in the context of the study with several relevant dimensions for each variable. The framework aimed to expand knowledge in the travel industry with the application of the theory. Abide by traffic laws, a healthier life without air pollution, avoiding road accidents, less frequent travel plan, normal driving, and change of mode of transportation are what the conceptual research framework talks about in this study. In achieving this, road commuters may rely more on public transportation, care for the fellow human beings, driving with discipline, not influenced by others in reckless driving and less frequent travel will smoothen air pollution. The significant outcome of the proposed research framework in the present study would be smart mobility on the road, which will ultimately reduce air pollution and carbon emission. For long-run sustainable road traffic system, one has to plan for alternative toll system with remote sensing, smart infrastructure with double flyovers, strict enforcement on deviation in road regulations policies, sharing system in vehicles, and pre-planned travel visits will be the remedial measures to reduce traffic congestion and protect the environment.
