An Indicators Based Approach Towards Decision Making and Policy Making Regarding Introducing Electric Vehicles

Abstract

The dynamic development of the societies and cities is significantly based on the role of transport. That means a number of issues need to be addressed in order to reduce emission, keep traffic noise on acceptable level, increase energy efficiency and mitigate long-term threats. One of the solutions is the implementation of electric and hybrid cars. This problem can be solved thanks to the sustainable mobility concept, in which transport needs are limited at the stage of planning spatial development from one side or in implementation of solutions based on electric & hybrid cars. This leads toward research for defining the indicators which would provide information to the policy makers for creating solutions for sustainable transportation and environmental protection. One of the scientific methods used in the research conducted in 6 Western Balkan countries is the AHP methodology and multi criteria decision making process for defining four pillars of indicators, social, economic, cultural, environmental indicators for possible implementation of different types of cars toward the fulfillment of the sustainability goals for the region of WBC's. WBC's as developing countries are still on the first stage in the process of defining indicators for policy making based on scientific methodology.

“…The vehicle electrification is conceived as vehicle efficiency improvement [2]. The EV usage gives new hope that they can represent an alternative that is more likely to support not only the development of sustainable transport, but sustainable development in the broadest sense [3]. Well-built infrastructure for recharging the EV batteries is considered as one of the key issues for the success of the EV, in addition to their price [4].…”
