Inhaltsangabe

Transport and Energy Research attempts to answer the question "how to reduce household energy consumption” from a behavioral perspective by citing extensive literature reviews and relevant case studies. It adopts a life-oriented approach that emphasizes cross-domain dependencies with respect to various life choices, but also discusses cross-sectoral collaboration for effective transport and energy policymaking. The book focuses not only on the passenger transport sector, but also on the domestics sector. Topics cover autonomous vehicles, time use across space driven by use of information and communication technologies, social issues associated with both transport and energy, and energy-saving lifestyles.

This book is a valuable resource for energy researchers, engineers, managers and planners on the current state of research, giving them the knowledge and tactics necessary to reduce energy consumption at the household level.

• Examines transport and domestics issues associated with energy from a behavioral perspective in both an interdisciplinary and comprehensive way
• Offers an overview of current relevant research and the most recent developments
• Provides rich information about future research trends and innovative insights into effective policymaking

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Life-oriented Transport and Energy Research attempts to answer the question “how to reduce household energy consumption from a behavioral perspective, throughout extensive literature review and relevant case studies. It adopts a life-oriented approach, which emphasizes cross-domain dependencies with respect to various life choices and allows cross-sectoral collaboration for effective transport and energy policymaking. This book focuses not only on the passenger transport sector, but also the domestics sector. It examines household car ownership and usage, in-home and out-of-home activities associated with energy consumption, the relationship between residential location choice and car ownership connected with self-selection issues, shared mobility and energy consumption. Autonomous vehicles, time use across space driven by use of information and communication technologies, social issues associated with both transport and energy, and energy-saving lifestyles are also covered. This book is a valuable resource for energy researchers, engineers, managers and planners as a reference on the current state of research. It also provides them knowledge about how to reduce energy consumption at the household level from an interdisciplinary perspective, which is useful to graduate students as well. Energy engineers developing technology with a user-centric approach will benefit from the knowledge on user behavior and decision-making. Furthermore, the book offers policy makers comprehensive insights into making more effective policies than traditional approaches.
