Contents:

Introduction -- Sustainability, energy conservation and personal transport -- Sustainable road transport technologies -- Mobility management organisations -- Travel planning -- Conclusion

Summary: "Managing Transport Energy reviews the effects of transport by focusing on the key factors which offer ways of decoupling transport from intensive energy use and shows how it is possible to analyse and model various scenarios. The overall approach is interdisciplinary - covering all aspects of managing ground transport energy. Logistical and behavioural issues (the so-called 'soft' approaches) such as car sharing, travel plans and mobility management are given equal coverage. Readers of this text should be able to improve their understanding of the complex issues and some of the potential solutions in the growing field of reducing energy dependence."--BOOK JACKET.
