摘要: This paper shows how the methodologies used in current practice might lead to an underestimation of energy consumption by different passenger transport modes, and also offers recommendations for improvements these methodologies. The first recommendation is related rates. studies reviewed use traditional rates based on transportation demand, such as kilowatts-hour per vehicle-kilometre or passenger-kilometre, include other supply which prove useful. Second, are dependent factors, introduction homogeneous units independent factors therefore a significant improvement when comparing modes. Third, vehicle equation will improve quality assessments. Fourth, we propose that coefficients define should be broken down determine market niches sources categories.
