HOW MUCH FUEL DOES A TRAVELLER USE? A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE ENERGY REQUIRED FOR PASSENGER TRANSPORT BY CAR, BUS AND RAILWAY
HOEVEEL BRANDSTOF GEBRUIKT EEN REIZIGER? EEN VERGELIJKENDE STUDIE VAN HET BENODIGDE ENERGIEVERBRUIK VOOR REIZIGERSVERVOER PER AUTO, BUS EN TREIN
The energy consumption of different types of trains, buses and five cars of different price categories is studied. The question is directed towards the comparison of the energy consumption per traveller kilometer in certain traffic situations. For this reason a division is made between transport in urban areas and transport over long distances. The results presented are obtained by a computer simulation, from which the model is obtained. /TRRL/
