Evaluation of the Impact of Traffic Overload and Parking Fees on the Demand for Travel – A Study on an Event at the Technion
This work deals with the influence of overflow and parking tolls on the demand for traveling to destinations, with regard to the behavioral aspect of the demand for travel and identifying the factors influencing the choice of travel means. The need for demand management and external intervention in the transportation system by tolls was created […]
Electronic and Hybrid Power for Busses. Final Report
The report includes detailed review of technologies for electric and hybrid vehicles, and information about experiments performed with electric and hybrid buses worldwide. Published data about energy storage devices, such as batteries, fuel cells and inertia flywheels, various driving and charging systems, air conditioning problems are summarized and analyzed. Performance characteristics of various electric and […]
Identification and Evaluation of the Relationship Between Average and Variant Travel Times on Urban Roads
The aim of this work is to examine and evaluate some of the factors influencing variations in travel time. Factors to be examined in the work’s framework are: traffic volume, control, environment and geometry of the road. The research is meant to be the pilot stage of a comprehensive survey for calibrating a model that […]
Review of the Impact of Natural Gas Based Transportation Fuels on Air Quality
As Israel attempts to diversify its energy sources, its use of natural gas is rapidly expanding, taking advantage of discovered resources off Israel’s shores in the Eastern Mediterranean. Due to expansion of offshore operations and broader introduction of natural gas into the Israeli economy, emissions of associated air pollutants along with other potential environmental and […]
Private electric transportation readiness guide for municipalities – 2nd Edition
Electric mobility fundamentally changes the demand patterns of energy used for the transportation of people and goods, which is a vital share of any modern economy. The gradual replacement of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles with electric vehicles (EVs) is expected to carry broad implications over the energy sector, as well as both the natural […]
To unravel the “Gordian Knot” 2.0: Tackling congestion via road pricing and shared rides
Israel’s chronic traffic congestion has become one of its most pressing problems, with dire economic, environmental and psychological consequences. Following years of failed transportation policies, which overtly favored private over public transportation, it is clear that Israel needs an altogether different approach. We propose here a three-prong policy: Traffic demand management through an advanced system of road pricing, […]
Assessment of Natural Gas Loss from the Well-to-Tank Supply Chain of Natural Gas Based Transportation Fuels
Methane (CH4) is the primary component of natural gas and the second largest contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, following carbon dioxide (CO2), and is thus the focus of global efforts to reduce the warming of the atmosphere. The global warming potential of methane is over 25 times that of CO2. Methane also contributes to […]
Lessons Learned from Select Countries and Cities Policy Measures to Reduce Air Pollution from the Transportation Sector
Management of air pollution from transportation refers to the dynamic process a regulatory authority undertakes to reduce, prevent/eliminate air pollution emissions and their harmful effects on human health and the environment. The process of managing air quality, including from the transportation sector sources, consists of a cycle of inter-related activities, including periodic assessments and reviews […]
