Monograph

These 21 papers are concerned with energy and global climate change. Specific topics discussed include the following: the impact of shifting to diesel powered vehicles; estimating the fuel efficiency of road traffic; impacts of road grade on fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions; fuel prices and consumer preferences for vehicles; plug-in hybrid electric vehicles; hydrogen fueling; vehicle capacity and fuel consumption in household fleets; addressing climate change in transportation planning; unequal distribution of greenhouse gas emissions from personal travel in the United Kingdom; airport weather delays and the implications of climate change for future delays; trade-off between carbon dioxide emissions and logistics costs; global warming and its transportation impacts; carbon taxes as an energy conservation and emission reduction strategy; using information technology to improve railway capacity and service quality and thus prevent climate change; individual carbon dioxide emissions and potential for reduction; a carbon dioxide emissions trading scheme in German road transportation; determinants of automobile use; achieving carbon-efficient transportation; and rising gas price and transit ridership.
