"Urban Transport Energy Consumption: Determinants and Strategies for its Reduction"

Benoit Lefevre
Traffic infra Tech, 2011.

Un article écrit par Benoit Lefèvre dans le volume 1, Issue 3 (décembre 2010-janvier 2011) de la revue indienne Traffic infra Tech.

Introduction [en anglais]
:

"The adoption of faster modes of transport has changed profoundly the spatial organisation of cities. The increase in average speed of a city's transport system calls for more space. The result is urban sprawl and reduced density. Dominant transport modes are, therefore, the determinants of urban structures. The increase in distance covered due to increased speed of travel and urban sprawl leads to an increase in energy consumption."
