Energy consumption and greenhouse gases emissions on relation Brno - Jihlava

Abstract

Currently, the influence of transport on the environment represents a serious problem, especially in terms of energy consumption and generation of gases causing global warming. The contribution on the topic of comparing energy consumption and greenhouse gases emissions on relation Brno – Jihlava thus aims to describe generation of emissions in the current types of transport and their calculation according to EN 16258:2012. The results of the calculations will be expressed in emission intensity units to the number of passengers transported. The EN 16258:2012 calculations will be applied to passenger rail transport. In particular, energy intensity and generation of greenhouse gases will be monitored in relation to travelling the distance between Brno and Jihlava.

Simulation of Autonomous Mobility of Connected Vehicles in the Context of Real Conditions – a Case Study

“…When simulating a traffic flow, it is therefore necessary to have not only values of traffic intensities, but also the spatial arrangement of the road. In case of traffic junction simulation, it is also necessary to include data concerning, for example, the control of an intersection or the speed limit on a given road section [15]. Traffic intensity values can be obtained by simple observation, measurement through traffic monitoring technologies or on the basis of design or prospective traffic intensities calculated from historical data or from the theoretical permeability of a given road.…”

Examination of the Development of New Bus Registrations with Alternative Powertrains in Europe

“…The introduction of these measures to promote green buses should neither lead to higher costs of compliance with the minimum procurement targets set out in EU Directive 2019/1161, thereby leading to higher ticket prices or a reduction in the range of public transport services, nor should it discourage the development of non-road services in the forms of trams, metros and trains [2][3][4]. The targets are expressed as minimum percentages of clean vehicles in the total number of road transport vehicles included in the sum of all contracts covered by EU Directive 2019/1161 concluded between 2 August 2021 and 31 December 2025 for the first reference period, and for the second reference period from 1st January 2026 until 31st December 2030 [2].…”
