  • sustainable Passenger Transport back to brundtland
    Transportation Research Part A-policy and Practice, 2013
    Co-Authors: Erling Holden, Kristin Linnerud, David Banister
    Abstract:

    We argue that there is no clear definition of the concept sustainable Passenger Transport to help guide politicians in solving challenges at the global or regional level. Rather, the use of the concept has to an increasing extent reflected socially desirable attributes of local- and project-level problems, but these ignore the global challenges the concept was meant to solve. Going back to the Brundtland Report, we redefine the concept of ‘sustainable Passenger Transport’ and suggest an assessment method based on four equally important, main dimensions: safeguarding long-term ecological sustainability, satisfying basic Transport needs, and promoting intra- and intergenerational equity. We also define indicators and threshold values that have to be met for each of these dimensions and then illustrate how to achieve sustainable Passenger Transport.

  • trends in Passenger Transport energy use in south korea
    Energy Policy, 2010
    Co-Authors: Lee Schipper
    Abstract:

    Having a clear understanding of Transport energy use trends is crucial to identifying opportunities and challenges for efficient energy use for the Transport sector. To this date, however, no detailed analysis has been conducted with regard to rapidly growing Passenger Transport energy use in South Korea. Using bottom-up data developed from a variety of recent sources, we described the trends of Transport activity, energy use, and CO2 emissions from South Korea's Transport sector since 1986 with a particular focus on its Passenger Transport. By decomposing the trends in Passenger Transport energy use into activity, modal structure, and energy intensity, we showed that while travel activity has been the major driver of the increase in Passenger Transport energy use in South Korea, the increase was to some extent offset by the recent favorable structural shift toward bus travel and away from car travel. We also demonstrated that while bus travel has become less energy intensive since the Asian Financial Crisis, car travel has become increasingly energy intensive.
