Urban form, vehicle emissions and energy use of commuters in the Netherlands

摘要: Th e infl uence of urban form on the travel behaviour commuters has been interest to geographers, transportation and researchers for some time. Many studies have examined commuting distance, time mode choice. For example, previous shown that denser areas are associated with shorter distances but longer times lower speeds. Trip-chaining is oft en more prevalent amongst from areas. On other hand, less dense journey higher speeds times. Less attention however paid vehicle emissions transport energy use. Using Dutch National Travel survey data, this paper examines diff erent types consumption due commuters’ daily in Netherlands over last decade. results show CO 2 signifi cantly increased Moreover, although urbanised area traffi c density speed, who reside produced consumed compared area. However does not mean dense/compact city policy would automatically reduce consumption. As models, there important factors amount
