Abstract
Mobility is a key factor in urban life and transport network plays a vital role in mobility. Worse transport network having less mobility is one of the key reasons to decline the living standard in any unplanned mega city. Transport mobility enhancement in an unplanned mega city is always challenging due to various constraints including complex design and high cost involvement. The aim of this thesis is to enhance transport mobility in a megacity introducing a bicycle lane. To design the bicycle lane natural Physarum, brainless single celled multi-nucleated protist, is studied and modified for better optimization. Recently Physarum inspired techniques are drawn significant attention to the construction of effective networks. Exiting Physarum inspired models effectively and efficiently solves different problems including transport network design and modification and implication for…
