Abstract
This paper presents the conclusions of a study of energy use in passenger and goods transport in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The study focused on quantifying the relationship between transport and energy demand through the development of an analytical framework making use of a formal fuel consumption model. The results make apparent that specific fuel consumption and intra urban distances are among the most important factors influencing total energy use in urban transport. Policy measures that can be taken to reduce specific fuel consumption include increasing vehicle speeds by improving and maintaining road pavements, reducing traffic congestion by widening heavily travelled roads, and promoting the use of larger, more fuel efficient buses for public transport. Policy measures that can be taken to reduce commuting distances include the construction, extension and widening of circular roads to facilitate traffic flow among all zones of the city without having to pass through the city centre and better zoning of industrial, residential and commercial districts so as to reduce the number of trips required into the centre of town. 2 tabs
