As most of the Public Transport Authority in the world Tramoc is responsible for planning of bus lines and bus stops location. However due to a lack of personal and data in the transportation and urban planning fields this task can not yet be fully carried out.
Ecotrans project proposes the creation of a specific office inside Tramoc responsible to conduct studies and surveys, to keep regular and updated information on rider ship, to observe the development of mobility and in general, to provide basic information on the development of urban transport in Hanoi, with a perspective to sustainable development .
Members of the study center are one European expert hired by the project, and two Vietnamese experts member of Tramoc’s planning department.
In order to carry out its missions the study center disposes of:
→ its own office space and computer equipments
→ a recent satellite picture of Hanoi and its region
→ a data base centralizing all the data related to public transport available in TRAMOC which has been created specifically by and for the need of the study center.
→ a Geographical Information System linking geographical and statistical data (see Marketing, Ticketing and Information)
