ICCT: Reducing marine fuel use and emissions
2/23/2020 7:16:00 AM
Limiting engine power as a means to reduce fuel use and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is explored in Limiting Engine Power to Reduce CO2 Emissions From Existing Ships , a report from the International Council on Clean Transportation. This report uses the International Maritime Organization’s greenhouse gas strategy, which aims to reduce the CO2 intensity of international shipping by at least 40% by 2030.
ITF: Safe micromobility
2/22/2020 7:16:00 AM
The traffic safety of pedal cycles, electrically assisted cycles, and electrically powered personal mobility devices is examined in Safe Micromobility , a report from the International Transport Forum. The report proposes a framework to define micromobility, and suggests certain limits on mass and speed to classify them.
ICCT: Brazilian emission standards
2/13/2020 7:50:56 AM
New Brazilian emission standards are outlined in Brazil PROCONVE L-7 and L-8 Emission Standards for Light-Duty Vehicles , a report from the International Council on Clean Transportation. These standards are scheduled to take effect between January 2022 and January 2025.
VTPI: Impacts of Smart Growth
2/9/2020 3:22:21 PM
The impacts of Smart Growth are examined in Understanding Smart Growth Savings: Evaluating Economic Savings and Benefits of Compact Development , a report from the Victoria Transport Policy Institute in Canada. This report defines Smart Growth, investigates consumer preferences, and evaluates Smart Growth criticisms.
VTPI: AVs impacts on planning
2/8/2020 3:22:21 PM
The impacts of autonomous vehicles (AVs) and their implications on planning issues are explored in Autonomous Vehicle Implementation Predictions: Implications for Transport Planning , a report from the Victoria Transport Policy Institute in Canada. This report investigates how quickly AVs are likely to develop and be deployed; their likely benefits and costs; and how they are likely to affect travel demands and planning decisions.
ITF: Mobility and the value of time
2/6/2020 3:22:21 PM
Potential changes in individual mobility practices and use of time induced by technologies is examined in Mobility Practices, Value of Time and Transport Appraisal , a report from the International Transport Forum. Value of time is closely tied to the reliability of travel time, the comfort of travel conditions and other specific characteristics of the journey, which may affect utility during travel.
ICCT: What is the cleanest marine fuel?
2/1/2020 7:51:16 AM
The life-cycle emissions of various fuels are compared in The Climate Implications of Using LNG as a Marine Fuel , a report from the International Council on Clean Transportation. This paper identifies emissions from liquefied natural gas, marine gas oil, very low sulfur fuel oil, and heavy fuel oil when used in engines suitable for international shipping, including cruise ships.
ITF: Competition for infrastructure projects
1/31/2020 2:51:16 PM
The economics of infrastructure projects are examined in Competition for Infrastructure Projects: Traditional Procurement and PPPs in Europe , a report from the International Transport Forum. This report compares market competition of contract awards.
ITF: Improving P3s
1/30/2020 2:51:16 PM
The details of using public-private partnerships (P3s) for transportation infrastructure are outlined in Dealing with the Obsolescence of Transport Infrastructure in Public-Private Partnerships , a report from the International Transport Forum. This report examines who should bear the capital loss incurred by the obsolescence of infrastructure.
