Title: Evaluating mobility and energy efficiency. Technical research report, June 1990-August 1994 (Final)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:26324

Over the past two decades there has been an increasing awareness of the need to develop a more energy efficient transportation system. This research explored the relationship between energy efficiency and transportation by analyzing the relationship between energy efficiency and specific aspects of transportation. This research analyzed the relationship between land use patterns and transportation energy use, urban congestion and excess energy use, local bus operations and energy efficiency, park-and-ride services and energy efficiency, and vehicle speeds in an urban environment and energy efficiency. The report also provides an example of an analysis of fuel efficiency and vehicle delay under various transportation scenarios in Houston, Texas.
