摘要：Abstract Background: This paper presents the development of an expert system designed to train the young professional to implement mobility management strategies in order to influence a shift from passive to active transport choice which is cycling and walking. One of the processes involved in knowledge acquisition of active transport strategies is to capture the views of transportation experts regarding the most appropriate strategies with regards to the shift from motorised transport to active transport. There are eight (8) main transportation planning objectives to be achieved in organising an active transport system, such as congestion reduction, road and parking cost reduction, consumer cost reduction, crash risk reduction, air and noise pollution reduction, energy conservation, economic development benefits and liveable communities. Furthermore, apart from the main objectives, specific objectives on mobility management strategies are divided into four (4) major categories according to how they affect travelling, including improvements in transport option, land use management, price incentive and other implementation programs. Based on these, an expert system shell is developed to achieve the purposes highlighted above by using Visual Basic.NET as a tool and MySQL as a supporting tool. The expert system would finally provide an advice on the best strategy to be implemented based on the selection of the main objective and the specific objective by the user.
