Rational use of energy in transport

Objetivo

- To evaluate the technical, financial, legislative and environmental constraints affecting the rational use of energy in transport, to identify appropriate measures for saving energy and diversifying energy sources

- To prepare a basic grid for comparing the available data for energy consumption in the countries taking part

- To simulate the direct and indirect effects of policies.
This project involves the following areas:
to evaluate the technical, financial, legislative and environmental constraints affecting the rational use of energy in transport;
to identify appropriate measures for saving energy and diversifying energy sources;
to prepare a basic grid for comparing the available data for energy consumption in the countries, taking part;
to simulate the direct and indirect effects of policies.

Data were gathered concerning traffic volumes, energy consumption and the structure of passenger and vehicle fleets. Analysis of these data shows that there is a preference for private vehicles in particular and road transport in general. Interms of efficiency, private transport requires 2.5 times more energy per capita than public transport while road haulage consumes about 4 times more energy per ton than the rail or sea transport.

The national energy saving policies adopted by the different countries were than analysed and compared. This analysis shows that there is a common desire to keep demand for private transport under control and to promote the development of more energy efficient transport modes.

3 models were used to evaluate the impact of selected energy saving measures. MICSIM-MACSIM, a physical, model, was used to assess the correlations between vehicles energy consumption and operational parameters, and to carry out a simulation using German data to evaluate the over consumption of energy due to imperfect operating conditions.

The MED EE-EUR model, a long term energy demand simulation model, was used to evaluate future energy demand in Italy. 2 simulations were performed, one for a current trend scenario, the other for a rational energy use scenario. The EFOM-ENVIRONMENT model was used to identify the most cost effective measures for coping with given constraints on the reduction of toxic emissions in the European Community.

The results of these simulations show that the energy saving measures used in the models could yield real energy savings, initially reducing the increase in demand and eventually reversing the trend altogether.

It was included that energy can be saved in transport by:
improving the energy efficiency of cars;
limiting the increase of private transport and road transport;
rationalizing urban and nonurban transport systems.
A detailed series of proposals was formulated on this basis.
The first phase of the project (data gathering, state of the art) was completed in May 1990. It involved two surveys, one data and the other measures taken, based on questionnaires sent to the delegations taking part.

The Management Committee started to assess measures for to rationalise energy use in transport.

Collaboration was established between COST project 307 and a number of Commission programmes (JOULE, energy forecasts up to 2010; statistical programmes and the SAST, Euret and Drive programmes).
