Abstract
This study examines three tactics for achieving energy conservation and emission reduction (ECER) in road transport: technological measures, organizational management, and energy system upgrades. Technological progress encompasses enhancing the effectiveness of vehicles, incorporating sustainable energy sources, and harnessing the potential of 5G technology. Organizational management is concerned with the coordination and administration of activities related to urban planning and prioritization of public transit. The potential of alternative fuels, such as hydrogen and biogas, to replace fossil fuels is highlighted by advancements in energy system. The key findings suggest that pollution regulations, fuel replacement flexibility, and integrated planning frameworks are beneficial in maximizing economic and environmental benefits. The findings indicate necessity of implementing technical advancements, strong management practices, and transitioning to renewable energy sources to attain sustainable transportation and reduce GHG emissions. The implementation of a multi-faceted strategy is essential in order to effectively decrease the environmental impact of transportation.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution.
We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
