“…The model results can help to identify and better explain factors for which some private vehicle owners/holders do (not) actually consume that mode. In turn, these factors can have useful implications for making managerial and strategic decisions concerning the mitigation of road congestion, environmental protection, energy conservation and other sustainable transport policies at the local, national, European and global level (see Kugelevičius et al, 2007;Al-Mofleh et al, 2010;Streimikiene and Sarvutyte, 2010). Specifically, the increase of income level and car ownership will further encourage private vehicle travel and gasoline consumption.…”

The expenditure on private vehicle usage is an important aspect of the budget allocation process of households, which has important implications for the sustainable urban development and transport, energy and environmental policy making. This paper examines the gasoline consumption demand of Greek households using cross-sectional micro-data from a country-wide Household Budget Survey (HBS) during the period 2004/05. The two-step Heckman modeling methodology is adopted to jointly estimate the probability of selecting to use private vehicle and the amount of using it. In this way, it can help to identify and better explain factors for which some private vehicle owners/holders do (not) actually consume that mode. The results offer valuable insight into the existence of feedback relationship between the decision-making mechanisms of selecting to use private vehicle and amount of usage, in terms of the amount of money spent for gasoline consumption. They also indicate the statistically significant impact of region-specific fixed effects, which implies that unobserved or omitted factors associated with each Region have a different impact on the decision to choose and the amount of using private vehicle. The income variable has a statistically significant positive impact on the selection and usage of a private vehicle. The estimated income elasticity suggests that a private vehicle travel is relatively inelastic (normal and necessity good). Its value reflects the increased car dependence and it is within the range of other income elasticities found in the literature. The male gender of household head, the amount of cars owned, the participation of family members in the labour market, the family size (a single-parent or couples with at least one child older than 18 years-old) and the expenditure on communication and tourism increase the probability of private vehicle gasoline consumption. The latter finding verifies that private vehicle constitutes an important means of transport during vacation. The use of communication devices, especially a mobile phone, reinforces the use of private vehicle, as it weakens the need for short-range activity planning in advance and the range and extent of social networking. On the contrary, the high population densities, the connection to the internet and the aging of household head reduce the probability of private vehicle gasoline consumption. The above results signify the role of personal and intra-household constraints, mostly related to size and aging structure, on the selection and use of a private vehicle. The expenditure on most other transport categories, such as an urban public transport, taxi, coach and rail negatively and statistically significantly affect private vehicle gasoline consumption. This outcome stresses the competitive relationship between the private vehicle and other transport modes which are mainly used in urban areas (urban bus, metro, and taxi). The study findings suggest the design of more sustainable leisure travel services, focussed on upgrading the qualit...

The segment of transport is a significant part of social and economic infrastructure and has a direct impact on certain economic or social territory development. It is known that production and/or trading scale development in a specific territory leads to increased requirements for infrastructure as well as to arising environmental protection issues. Therefore, this paper addresses a very significant problem of constantly increasing vehicle numbers that decrease the permeability of roads and increase traffic jams, which consequently, have an impact on the pollution of the environment. The main goal of this paper is to evaluate bypasses and high-speed streets based on data on Vilnius City using the multi-criteria evaluation method and to verify the hypothesis of the authors.

“…Over the year, number of motor vehicles keeps increasing and this problem becomes serious and several solutions to energy efficiency have been done i.e. increasing number of public transport, development of intelligent transportation information system, alternative fuel technologies, and improvement in vehicle efficiency [1]. Currently, majority of the motor vehicles use an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) as their main propulsion units.…”

This paper discusses the rotating analysis for 18-slot/16-pole Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) using Finite Element Method. The PMSM is applied for Light Electric Vehicle (LEV) which has about 200 kg net mass and maximum velocity of 30 km/h. The motor is located in the wheels of the LEV. The motor is built using three main components i.e. laminated steel iron, coils, and Neodymium-Iron-Boron permanent magnet. The permanent magnet is attached to the surface of the rotor. The motor have 360 winding turns per phase and 10 A maximum current is flowing into the coils. The induced back-emf, cogging torque, and magnetic flux of the motor are analyzed. The results show that the motor is capable to generate an approximately 550 V back-emf, low cogging torque less than 0.5 Nm, maximum power of 5.5 kW and average torque of 81 Nm. The value of back-emf can be adjusted by changing the motor parameters such as coil turns per phase, rotor radius, axial length or magnet thickness. These values will determine the motor parameters required to design the power electronics converter for LEV.
