Travelers switching from automobiles to public transport can save on costs of vehicle ownership, help cities reduce air pollution and public expenditure on health care, and reduce congestion in the city. Reduced costs and increased productivity can even affect international competitiveness. The public transport industry nevertheless faces serious challenges. Urban transport is one of the main causes of air pollution. Reducing exhaust emissions from individual motorized vehicles has been a major policy goal, as motorized vehicles emit greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and pollutants like CO, NOx, SO2 and particulate matter. Israel is currently facing serious issues with air pollution from public bus transport according to the Israeli Ministry of Transport. The World Health Organization has ranked air pollution levels in Israel among the highest in the West and 34th worldwide with air pollution as its biggest contributor. Electric buses can contribute to a cleaner city environment, and indeed many big cities like London, Sao Paolo and New York have installed some form of low carbon buses. However, the full electrification of urban bus fleets so far has been limited. In order to better understand the potential of electrification and its possible impacts on the city environment and infrastructure, the Ministry of Energy and National Infrastructure in Israel has engaged an international research team to build several models that simulate and weigh the different scenarios for electrification over the coming years. This thesis is a part of that concerted effort. This research will address the knowledge gaps concerning the benefits of electrification in relation to policy measures, and the impacts of electrification on operational performance in both the transport and energy systems. The main research question is: How does transport policy and technology affect the market penetration rate of electric mobility in Tel Aviv, and it’s electricity consumption? In order to answer the question, a literature review was conducted as well as interviews with experts in the public transport sector. The obtained knowledge on bus fleet replacement and the public transport system were used to create an agent-based simulation model capable of answering the main research question. A simulation period of 16 years was chosen and a second case study (Noord- Brabant) was included. Agent-based modelling (ABM) has proven to be a suitable method to model the market penetration of EVs in the consumer market and can be used to model market penetration of clean fuel buses in public transport as well. It is capable of modelling heterogeneous stakeholders and interactions between those stakeholders in a dynamic environment. The answer to the main research question, is that: In general, the market penetration of electric buses is likely to increase steadily over time regardless of subsidies, as their total cost of ownership (TCO) steadily drops due to technological developments. Subsidies do increase the market penetration rate compared to no subsidies, in case the TCO of electric buses and diesel buses are a close match. A subsidy of 25% of the TCO was enough to stimulate the diffusion of electric buses. The modelling experiments indicated that the diffusion of electric buses in bus fleets can result considerable amounts of additional electricity demand due to charging of v | P a g e MASTER THESIS HENSLEY DJOE batteries. Additional energy demands beyond 10MW were measured in peak times in bus fleets containing around 1200 electric buses. Ebuses were generally found more attractive in both case studies under different diesel price scenarios. The market penetration rates of electric buses in the Noord Brabant model were on average considerably lower than they were in the Tel Aviv case. This was likely caused by differences in daily kilometre range between diesel buses and electric buses, and an absence of subsidies. vi | P a g e MASTER THESIS HENSLEY DJOE TABLE OF CONTENT Executive summary ................................................................................................................................. v Table of content ..................................................................................................................................... vii list of figures ........................................................................................................................................... xii list of tables ............................................................................................................................................ xv list of abbreviations ............................................................................................................................... xvi 1 Introduction ..................................................................................................................................... 1 1.1 Israel case ................................................................................................................................ 1 1.2 Research problem ................................................................................................................... 2 1.3 Problem statement .................................................................................................................. 3 1.3.1 Expected outcome of the model ......................................................................................... 3 1.4 Research question and sub questions ..................................................................................... 4 1.5 Research method .................................................................................................................... 4 1.5.1 Agent-based modelling method .......................................................................................... 4 1.5.2 Modelling and analysis tools ............................................................................................... 6 1.6 Thesis outline........................................................................................................................... 7 2 What are the considerations that affect governments’ decisions to subsidize electric mobility and other clean

During this period, over 27,000 attacks against Israeli citizens and residents have been recorded, and over 1000 Israeli citizens and residents have lost their lives in these attacks. Out of these, 155 (May 2007) attacks were suicide bombings, carried out against Israeli targets by 178 (August 2007) suicide terrorists (male and female). (It should be noted that from 1993 up to the beginning of the conflict in September 2000, 38 suicide bombings were carried out by 43 suicide terrorists). Despite the fact that suicide bombings constitute 0.6% of all attacks carried out against Israel since the beginning of the conflict, the number of fatalities in these attacks is around half of the total number of fatalities, making suicide bombings the most deadly attacks. From the beginning of the conflict up to August 2007, there have been 549 fatalities and 3717 casualties as a result of 155 suicide bombings. Over the years, suicide bombing terrorism has become the Palestinians’ leading weapon, while initially bearing an ideological nature in claiming legitimate opposition to the occupation.

  • Ground to a Halt, Denial of Palestinians' Freedom Of
    Since the beginning of the second intifada, in September 2000, Israel has imposed restrictions on the movement of Palestinians in the West Bank that are unprecedented in scope and duration. As a result, Palestinian freedom of movement, which was limited in any event, has turned from a fundamental human right to a privilege that Israel grants or withholds as it deems fit. The restrictions have made traveling from one section to another an exceptional occurrence, subject to various conditions and a showing of justification for the journey. Almost every trip in the West Bank entails a great loss of time, much uncertainty, friction with soldiers, and often substantial additional expense. The restrictions on movement that Israel has imposed on Palestinians in the West Bank have split the West Bank into six major geographical units: North, Central, South, the Jordan Valley and northern Dead Sea, the enclaves resulting from the Separation Barrier, and East Jerusalem. In addition to the restrictions on movement from area to area, Israel also severely restricts movement within each area by splitting them up into subsections, and by controlling and limiting movement between them. This geographic division of the West Bank greatly affects every aspect of Palestinian life.
