Transport emissions currently comprise 23 percent of global GHGs and are expected to double by 2050. I was excited to see cities and regions take center stage at this year’s COP23 climate summit in Bonn, Germany, pledging to deliver national climate pledges with or without country leadership. ITDP’s joint research with UC-Davis shows that 83 percent of urban transport GHGs could be avoided by 2050 through compact land use and sustainable urban mobil- ity – and that cities worldwide could save over $100 trillion due to less infrastructure and lower vehicle and fuel costs. ITDP is taking a leading role to support cities worldwide, helping to Climate change is here.

  • Electrification of Public Transport in Cities (Horizon 2020 ELIPTIC Project)
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Transportation Research Procedia 14 ( 2016 ) 2614 – 2619 6th Transport Research Arena April 18-21, 2016 Electrification of public transport in cities (Horizon 2020 ELIPTIC Project) Michael Glotz-Richter a,*, Hendrik Koch a aCity of Bremen, ELIPTIC project coordination, Contrescarpe 72, 28195 Bremen Abstract Public transport is one of the backbones of sustainable transport strategies in Europe. Collective transport has undisputed benefits concerning space efficiency. Today, more than 90% of buses in Europe depend on diesel, calling for better environmental and post- fossil alternatives. Further electrification of public transport (in combination with green electricity production) is a core aspect of further improving the environmental profile of public transport. Investments in electrifying public transport have a particularly high impact since urban public transport vehicles run up to 16 hours per day, compared to less than one hour for the average conventional car. A single 18 m urban bus consumes about 40,000 litres diesel annually – equivalent to more than 100 tons of CO2! THE EU ELIPTIC project is looking at the electrification of urban buses as well as the improvement of energy performance in light rail and the multi-purpose use of infrastructure to support further electrification in transport. ELIPTIC is demonstrating technical approaches in 20 showcases with variations of electrified public transport under different operational, geographical and climate conditions. The demonstrations include new battery buses of high passenger capacity (18 m articulated) as they are increasingly in demand by public transport operators. Another concept is the combination of battery and trolley bus concepts, allowing to recharge batteries in operation (when connected to the overhead wires) and giving trolley bus cities an opportunity to extend the electric operation into areas without overhead wires.

  • Sustainable Transport Systems: Linkages Between Environmental Issues, Public Transport, Non-Motorised Transport and Safety1
    Sustainable Transport Systems: Linkages Between Environmental Issues, Public Transport, Non-Motorised Transport and Safety1 Dinesh Mohan and Geetam Tiwari Transportation Research and Injury Prevention Programme Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, India INTRODUCTION A sustainable transport system must provide mobility and accessibility to all urban residents in a safe and environment friendly mode of transport. This is a complex and difficult task when the needs and demands of people belonging to different income groups are not only different but also often conflicting. For example, if a large proportion of the population can not afford to use motorised transport - private vehicles or public buses - then they have to either walk or ride bicycles to work. Provision of safe infrastructure for bicyclists and pedestrians may need segregation of road space for bicyclists and pedestrians from motorised traffic or reduction in speeds of vehicles. Both measures could result in restricting mobility of car users. Similarly, measures to reduce pollution may at times conflict with those needed for reduction in road accidents. For example, increases in average vehicle speeds may reduce emissions but they can result in an increase in accident rates. But, most public discussions and government policy documents dealing with transportation and health focus only on air pollution as the main concern. This is because air pollution is generally visible and its deleterious effects are palpable. It is easy for most people to connect the associations between quality of motor vehicles, exhaust fumes and increased morbidity due to pollution. But most individuals are not able to understand the complex interaction of factors associated with road accidents.

  • Sustainable Transport Solutions to the Climate Crisis
    Thematic discussion3: Sustainable transport solutions to the climate crisis Saturday, 26 November, 4:30 – 6:00 P.M. Lead entity: Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific Climate change is of major concern to the future livelihoods of the peoples of this planet. While transport plays a critical role in economic and social development, the transport sector, as one of the top consumers of fossil fuels, is a major contributor to air pollution and generates a variety of emissions that impact the climate. Transport systems are responsible for around 26 per cent of globally emitted greenhouse gases, mainly through the burning of fossil fuels, representing around 30 per cent of all fossil fuel use. It is estimated that investing in better end-use fuel and electricity efficiency in transport use can help cut emissions in the sector by nearly 30 percent by 2050 (IEA 2012). Climate change has in turn impacts on critical transport infrastructure worldwide. Ports for instance, key nodes in global supply-chains, handling over 80% of the volume of world trade, are likely to be affected directly and indirectly by climatic changes, such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events and rising temperatures, with broader implications for international trade and for the development prospects of the most vulnerable nations, in particular LDCs and SIDS. Given the potential for climate related damage, disruption and delay to transport across closely interconnected global supply chains, enhancing the climate resilience of critical transport infrastructure is of strategic importance. Transport systems are under threat from the effects of climate change and extreme events that are expected to be more frequent and, or intense, in the future.

  • Biogas As a Transport Fuel—A System Analysis of Value Chain Development in a Swedish Context
    sustainability Article Biogas as a Transport Fuel—A System Analysis of Value Chain Development in a Swedish Context Muhammad Arfan *, Zhao Wang, Shveta Soam and Ola Eriksson Department of Building Engineering, Energy Systems and Sustainability Science, University of Gävle, SE-801 76 Gävle, Sweden; [email protected] (Z.W.); [email protected] (S.S.); [email protected] (O.E.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +46-704-400-593 Abstract: Biofuels policy instruments are important in the development and diffusion of biogas as a transport fuel in Sweden. Their effectiveness with links to geodemographic conditions has not been analysed systematically in studying biogas development in a less urbanised regions, with high po- tential and primitive gas infrastructure. One such region identified is Gävleborg in Sweden. By using value chain statistics, interviews with related actors, and studying biofuels policy instruments and implications for biogas development, it is found that the policy measures have not been as effective in the region as in the rest of Sweden due to different geodemographic characteristics of the region, which has resulted in impeded biogas development. In addition to factors found in previous studies, the less-developed biogas value chain in this region can be attributed particularly to undefined rules of the game, which is lack of consensus on trade-off of resources and services, unnecessary competition among several fuel alternatives, as well as the ambiguity of municipalities’ prioritization, and regional cultural differences. To strengthen the regional biogas sector, system actors need a strategy to eliminate blocking effects of identified local factors, and national policy instruments should provide mechanisms to process geographical conditions in regulatory, economic support, Citation: Arfan, M.; Wang, Z.; Soam, and market formation.

  • Systemic Sustainable Development in the Transport Service Sector
    sustainability Article Systemic Sustainable Development in the Transport Service Sector Izabela Sztangret Entrepreneurship Department, University of Economics in Katowice, 40-287 Katowice, Poland; [email protected] Received: 26 September 2020; Accepted: 10 November 2020; Published: 16 November 2020 Abstract: The concept of sustainability and sustainable development, especially systemic sustainable development, still raises controversy in literature. The article makes an attempt to re-examine these concepts from a systems perspective, seeking foundations and applications in the selected sector. It is becoming increasingly clear that sustainability and sustainable development are aimed at integrated economic, social, cultural, political, and ecological factors. This causes a need for a constructive approach to the issue, taking into account all the actors, areas and dimensions involved in the pursuit of systemic sustainable development. As a result, both local and global dimensions and the way they interact must be explored in a multifaceted manner in order to offer a perspective more effective and useful than other analytical approaches, as the systems view is a way of thinking in terms of connectedness, relationships, and context. The article aims to review selected publications and studies so as to form the general idea of systemic sustainable development and define the systemic development of sustainable transport, including in particular the perspective of the actors of the sector, transport providers (passenger, urban), and transport development program, implemented both by local governments and on the European scale. An attempt was made to identify elements of the systemic sustainable development model, setting it in the reality of the following subcategories: “Society”, “Economy”, and “Environment” in sectoral terms.

He is a graduate of bridge related to bridge condition engineering of Central South assessment. University. Summary Because of its superior efficiency, environment-friendly and aesthetic value, Bus rapid transit (BRT) system has grown to be an emerging urban public transport system in recent years. Based on the study of Xiamen BRT, the first viaduct bus rapid transit system in China, the numerous technical features of this system have been studied, such as load model, bridge type selection as well as span arrangement. Meanwhile, the design of ancillary facilities and some new construction methods have been discussed. As a significant part of urban landscape, the coherence between bridges and environment has been fully taken into account during the bridge design process. Moreover, on the basis of the static and dynamic field testing, the actual operation state and dynamic performance of this series of bridges have been analyzed. The paper also discussed the feasibility on the new concept for shifting the BRT bridges from rapid transit to light rail in long-term. Keywords: Bus rapid transit (BRT); viaduct; design parameters; finite element (FE) analysis; field load testing.
