      <title>Urban transport and energy planning - the forgotten issue? - an engineering perspective</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1199705</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Australian cities are low density cities, unlike the cities of Europe and Asia, and their form will only change very slowly; New transport schemes are expensive, difficult to introduce and slow to take effect; The car offers many advantages, well recognised by travellers; The disavantages of the car are more likely to be rectified by modifications to its form and functioning, than from the use of alternatives.  We should: 1) Have a clear vision of the sort of city we want; 2) Remove any price distortions and subsidies to ensure that travel and land use decisions are rationally based; 3) Remove restraints on high density developments; 4) Use each travel mode for its appropriate purpose; 5) Maximise the efficient use of each mode; 6) Be realistic about the needs of the public and role of the car and truck; 7) Look for incremental improvements (e.g. intersection improvements) whilst planning for technological change; e.g. a small semi-private car with a non-polluting engine using 'sustainable' fuel and with electronic safety and convoy facilities would be an ideal transport solution, technically and socially.]]></description>

      <title>TRANSPORTATION COSTS MAY DELAY UTILITY COAL USE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/167080</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Escalating transportation costs from coal fields in the West to users in the South and Southwest are a continued problem. Some users are hinting at importing cheaper coal as transportation costs continue to rise.  Federal goals are in conflict. The nation is committed by law to increase coal use to reduce dependency on oil and gas, but the nation is also committed by law to prop up its financially sagging railway industry.  This is because the Energy Department, the Transportation Department, and the Interstate Commerce Commission are working at cross purposes.  The Utilities are faced with escalating transportation cost increases with few viable alternatives, and the railroads are caught in a situation of having under-estimated the amount of traffic and the capital costs of keeping their service in condition to meet the increased usage.  It is a "Catch-22" situation with the outcome yet to be resolved.  The idea of importing coal seems ludicrous on the surface, but should the utilities be forced to pass cost increases along to the ultimate payer, the customer, maybe import competition could achieve an economic solution.]]></description>

      <title>BIBLIOGRAPHY FOR TRANSPORTATION ENERGY CONSERVATION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/63500</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A listing is given of 578 reports, books, articles, and conference papers on transportation and energy. Coverage is primarily on U. S. developments and research from 1970 to 1975. Following a section of citations of general works on energy, the bibliography contains two main parts: "Energy for Transportation" and "Transportation of Energy." Within each of these topics the arrangement is multimodal (at the urban, regional, national, or international level), then by mode. Selected information sources are listed in the last part. Within each section, entries are arranged alphabetically by author or, lacking an author, by title. References were drawn from the Transportation Center Library collection and other libraries in the Northwestern University system. An earlier bibliography, Transportation and Energy, compiled by the Transportation Center Library in March 1974, forms the basis for the arrangement and provides coverage from 1970 to 1973.

      <title>ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES FOR NON-HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION (APPENDICES)</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/157356</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A planning study was made for DOE on alternate fuels for non-highway transportation (aircraft, rail, marine, and pipeline).  The study provides DOE with a recommendation of what alternate fuels may be of interest to non-highway transportation users from now through 2025 and recommends R & D needed to allow non-petroleum derived fuels to be used in non-highway transportation.  Volume III contains all of the references for the data used in the preliminary screening and is presented in 4 subvolumes.  Volume IIIA covers the background information on the various prime movers used in the non-highway transportation area, the physical property data, the fuel-prime mover interaction and a review of some alternate energy forms.  Volume IIIB covers the economics of producing, transporting, and distributing the various fuels.  Volume IIIC is concerned with the environment issues in production and use of the fuels, the energy efficiency in use and production, the fuel logistics considerations, and the overall ratings and selection of the fuels and prime movers for the detailed evaluation.  Volume IIID covers the demand-related issues.]]></description>

      <title>NATIONAL ENERGY TRANSPORTATION STUDY</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/157060</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This study focuses on changing transport patterns caused by the expected shift from oil to coal, assessing the ability of the Nation's transportation systems to carry future volumes of coal, petroleum, natural gas and nuclear materials.  Trends in energy commodity transportation are predicted.  Areas are identified where capacity problems might require expanded facilities.  Also assessed are possible financial, social, safety and environmental constraints on the capability of the system to meet identified needs.  Focus is on 1985 and 1990 with few problems anticipated by 1985 and none that would seriously impede energy transportation.  By 1990 without significant investment there could be rail-line and inland-waterway constraints on coal volume.  New sources of crude oil and petroleum products can change distribution patterns but do not appear to require major systemwide investment in pipelines.  A pipeline for Alaska natural gas could be the sole exception to the finding that there are no significant technical, regulatory or financial barriers for this mode. Movements of nuclear materials will not be constrained by physical limitations but safety and other regulatory controls could affect movement of these products.]]></description>

      <title>TRANSPORTATION NEEDS, PARTICULARLY WATERWAY DEVELOPMENT, RELATED TO COAL</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/156192</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper presents information on the nature and extent of future U.S. transportation needs, particularly for freight transportation, as established by the National Transportation Policy Study Commission and documented in their 1979 Final Report and staff papers.  That Commission's forecasts of bottlenecks in the movement of energy products are highlighted.  The paper then suggests some policy guidelines for transportation investment and the pricing of public transportation facilities, in light of the infrastructure which will be necessary to serve future demands.]]></description>

      <title>OVERVIEW OF FUTURE WESTERN COAL TRANSPORT ON GREAT LAKES SHIPPING</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/143819</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Contrary to earlier expectations, there is no immediate need to greatly expand port facilities, given the less-than-ten-year lead time to build new facilities. An upper limit of expected utility and industry demand for shipments of coal in the Great Lakes Region is expected to be 40 x 10 exp 6 ton/y. This represents an increase of nearly 100% in annual coal shipments over the lakes or a 20% increase in total freight tonnage. Relative to other freight requirements, coal shipment facility needs are now low, so even this high growth scenario does not hint of perceived portside handling problems. The transportation network now in place on the Great Lakes does have limitations that affect industrial and utility users. These are: (a) the capacity of the Sault Sainte Marie locks, (b) the closing of the lakes in the winter due to ice (except for the St. Lawrence Seaway), and (c) the age of the Great Lakes fleet. The rail network from the mines to the transshipment point and from the port city to the plant (for hinterland locations) may both present problems.]]></description>

      <title>ENERGY MATERIAL TRANSPORT, NOW THROUGH 2000, SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS AND POTENTIAL PROBLEMS. TASK 3. FINAL REPORT. PETROLEUM TRANSPORTATION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/144753</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report contains a summary characterization of the petroleum transportation system and an assessment of some potential problems that may impact petroleum transportation in the United States during the balance of the century.  A primary purpose of this task is to provide information and perspective that contribute to the evaluation of research and development needs and priorities in future programs. The system characterization in Section 3 includes a review of petroleum product movements, modal operations and comparisions, and transportation regulations and safety. This system overview summarizes domestic production and consumption scenarios to the year 2000.  A median scenario based on published projections shows that the US will probably rely on foreign oil to supply between 40 and 50 percent of domestic petroleum transportation were identified by the analysis and prioritization of current issues.  The relative priorities of problem concerns were judged on the basis of their overall impact on the system and the immediacy of this potential impact.  Two classes of concern are distinguished: 1. Potential problems that appear to require new programmatic action, in addition to effort already committed, to minimize the possible future impact of these concerns.  2. Latent concerns that may increase or decrease in priority or entirely change in nature as they develop.  While the trend of these concerns should be monitored, new program action does not appear necessary at this time.]]></description>
