Abstract

One of the main aims of the project is to develop a methodological framework for the analysis of passenger transport energy use in a given urban area. Case studies are used to develop this methodology. Travel data is combined with modal energy consumption rates to derive a passenger transport energy audit according to locality and trip purpose. The energy database is then correlated with morphological, social, economic and transport factors on two levels: ward by ward (predominantly social, economic and transport factors) and the urban region (social, economic, transport and morphological factors). The case studies have been chosen not to be representative, but to give a range of settlement types with which to develop an empirical framework. The results say as much about the suitability of a standard local authority travel survey for an energy analysis as the actual factors influencing transport energy use. (A)
