A Study on traffic Policy focused on mobility and energy efficiency

Abstract

In this paper, we discussed the reduction of traffic energy consumption maintaining people's mobility. First of all, we defined the level of mobility and the level of traffic energy efficiency, and then we quantified these indexes by analyzing the person trip data of Kei-Han-Shin Metropolitan Area. Second, by comparing the level of traffic energy efficiency with the city characteristics, we clarified the relationship between urban structure and traffic energy efficiency. Third we clarified the algorithm of the traffic modal split which archives the maximum energy consumption reduction maintaining people's mobility. Finally, we simulated the effect of policy that improves in traffic energy efficiency.
