“…Relation between CO 2 emission and fuel consumption is linear (Mickunaitis et al 2007;Momčilović et al 2009;Vujanović et al 2010). Functions of CO 2 emissions on the fuel consumptions for petrol and diesel engines are given by (Momčilović et al 2009…”

“…Although the CO 2 emission is in direct correlation with fuel consumption (Johnstone, Karousakis 1999;Mickunaitis et al 2007;Vujanović et al 2010), some authors provide evidence of existence of a relationship between this emission and certain vehicle characteristics. Thus, for example, Zervas and Lazarou (2008) defined a linear dependence of CO 2 emission on the weight of the passenger cars.…”

“…However, despite the great number of different methodologies for calculating annual circulation taxes, internalisation of external costs of CO 2 and pollutant emissions is still a challenge. Namely, the existing methodologies based on technical characteristics of vehicles as references for determination of annual circulation taxes, do not provide the most appropriate solution for internalization of external costs, since the correlation between certain characteristics and these emissions is very weak (Mickunaitis et al 2007;Momčilović et al 2009). Also, it is evident the kilometres driven of vehicles are is excluded from calculation.…”

The paper's goal is to unify practical and theoretical aspects of internalisation of external costs, in line with the "polluter pays" and "user pays" principles. Due to the impossibility of applying an ideal economic solution for internalisation of external costs, alternative solutions have to be developed and implemented. One of the possible solutions for internalisation of external costs of CO 2 and pollutant emissions from passenger cars is presented in this paper. It is a new methodology for calculating annual circulation taxes on passenger cars. This methodology, besides CO 2 , also takes into account the pollutants whose emissions are regulated by the Euro standards (CO, HC, NO x and PM), as well as the vehicle age and kilometres driven. The proposed methodology has been tested on some of the best-selling passenger cars in Europe. The results of analysis show significant differences between our methodology and the methodologies that are used in five European countries (Ireland, the United Kingdom, Malta, Luxembourg and Sweden), which use the CO 2 emissions as a reference value for their calculation. Also, we have proved that the annual circulation tax, calculated using our methodology, provide better internalisation of external costs compared to the fuel tax.

“…Using the standard of 2.4kg CO 2 (petrol) and 2.7kg CO 2 (diesel) emission for every litre of fuel [26] used by mini-buses and private automobile vehicle, the CO 2 emission level of AYA route is analyzed in this section (see Table 1). When these savings are aggregated for the new transit-dependent mobility and reduced private automobile usage scenario, the CO 2 emission level of the existing scenario is reduced from 90,994,323.6027Kg CO 2 to 45,168,682.6937 Kg CO 2 .…”

Classical modernist planning and the menace of automobile dependence in cities: the case of Abuja, Nigeria

Unequivocally, it has become increasingly clear that the approach of Classical Modernist planning (CMP) that prevailed after World War II emphasizes huge permissivity for low-density sprawling suburban development and the meteoric rise of motorization in cities. The implicit "predict and provide" approach of building and expansion of roads to ease congestion continued to skew investments on transportation towards permitting private automobile ownership and use at the expense of public transportation. As a result, the inherent menaces of automobile dependence are continuing in cities especially in the Global South including Abuja, Nigeria. This study has illustrated that the prevailing CMP system in Abuja, has continually spurred and fuelled the growth of suburbia. Consequently, the emerging automobile dependent mobility pattern is indeed plagued with the challenges of CO 2 emissions, traffic congestion, and related man-hour and fuel wastage. This study reveals that by institutionalizing spatial planning strategies as BRT, TOD and congestion pricing it is possible to transform sprawling automobile dependent cities to smart compact transit dependent cities. Hence, the implicit CO 2 emissions and traffic congestion challenges of man-hour and fuel wastage on the AYA route in Abuja is retrofitted, and the ecological and carbon footprints is dwarfed.

“…Weight classes were formed based on the most frequent car make and type representatives relative to the non-formal European categorization. The chosen increment in vehicle weight classes corresponds to increased emissions emanating from them [15]. This paper explains how and why certain data were collected, with results shown separately for each vehicle class.…”

Mileage data collected via surveys based on self-estimation, reports from garages and other sources which use estimations are rough estimates and differ greatly from the actual mileage. Vehicle mileage is a major factor in emission calculations and needs to be as accurate as possible to obtain reliable emission models. Odometer readings are collected annually at the periodic technical inspection in Croatia. Average mileage data were analyzed for vehicles up to 20 years of age in 2017. Vehicles were classified by curb weight and fuel type. Such classification proved to follow driver behavior and the intended purpose of the vehicle. For each vehicle class, the model was applied using the vehicle age and its population size as inputs for calculating average mileage. Real data shows that vehicles in Croatia considerably exceed the estimated mileage in the years following the first registration of the vehicle and that they cannot be compared to data collected in other studies based on estimations. The difference lies in the covered mileage after vehicles reach ten years of age. The outcome of this study has resulted in a model for calculating average vehicle mileage. The model is suitable for use in various analyses for Croatia or for countries with similar driving habits and economic status now and for years to come.
