Preface
Mobility systems are highly complex nowadays due to high number of population in the world and high population density in cities. To give an idea, the city of Manila, at the time when this book is written, is the most populous city with 43,079 people per square kilometer! Humans need to move around for various reasons on daily basis, and thus sophisticated transportation system is vital especially in highly populated areas. Not only human transportation must be properly planned, the transportations of commodity and various products, and also provision of services, are also the concerns of mobility systems. In relation to high population densities, mobility systems are always related to issues such as traffic jams, fuel economy, emission, health etc. These are global issues and they are primary interests of various United Nations agencies. One way to overcome these problems is to ensure that the mobility systems itself is energy efficient. This book discusses various works from different authors on initiatives that have been taken to attain sustainable mobility systems, in particular on the energy efficiency aspect. It will be a useful reference for various stakeholders in transportation systems.
