Introduction
Transport
Welcome to the Intelligent

Energy e-library (IEe-library)
Why an Intelligent Energy e-library?
Climate change and security of energy supply are two major challenges needing urgent action from the EU. They have common
causes and common solutions. Leading the way on a response to both these challenges, European Heads of State and Govern-
ment signed up in March 2007 to binding targets for 2020: to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20%; to meet 20% of the
EU’s energy needs from renewable sources; to source 10% of transport fuels from renewable sources; and to improve energy
efficiency by 20%.
The implementation of EU and national climate change and energy policies requires measures to support activity ‘on the ground’,
enabling actors across Europe to tap into sustainable energy business opportunities and jobs, opening markets for new technolo-
gies, and making Europe’s economy more competitive.
The IEe-library is the result of work by the Executive Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation (EACI) to bring together in one
place a range of relevant tools and guidebooks on energy efficiency, renewable energy applications and sustainable mobility.
It includes items funded under the Intelligent Energy Europe (IEE) programme and a selection of instruments picked from over
2,500 EU funded projects (under Altener and Save, CIVITAS, Structural and regional funds, LIFE, RTD 2002-2006 and Phare).
In addition, nationally and regionally funded tools and guidebooks have been included from the EU 27 Member States, Norway,
Croatia, Iceland, the US, Canada and some international organisations.
The aim of this inventory is to disseminate good practice, advice and practical instruments throughout Europe and beyond. Here
businesses, energy professionals, researchers and policymakers alike can profit from a wide range of freely available material
to help them in their everyday work. The IEe-library will also be a good starting point for (future) applicants and contractors to
the IEE programme, to allow their projects to save time and costs by profiting from available tools and guidebooks rather than
duplicating them.
All the tools and guidebooks included in this inventory are available free, ready to download and use. Most are in English, but
many are also available in other European languages.

Introduction
How is the IEe-library structured?
This is one of four publications listing tools and guidebooks included in the free online IEe-library. This publication focuses on
energy use in transport and includes tools and guidebooks aimed at facilitating the use of sustainable transport modes and
mobility practices. To facilitate quick browsing, tools and guidebooks have been organised into specific sub-categories wher-
ever appropriate: alternative fuels and vehicles, collective passenger transport, cycling and walking, freight and mobility
management.
In the three other publications in this series, users can find information on energy efficiency in industry (energy audits, energy
management and benchmarking in industry), local energy management (sustainability of residential and non residential build-
ings, green procurement and energy planning), and renewable energy applications (sizing and feasibility of applications).
Who is the IEe-library for?
Tools and guidebooks listed in this thematic publication are aimed at advising or providing practical instruments especially for
energy and transport managers, public authorities and transport operators. You can find tools and guidebooks on the implemen-
tation of mobility management measures and on the promotion of sustainable transport modes. For example:
● If you are a policy maker looking for advice on planning and decision-making for sustainable urban land use/
transport systems here you can find methodological guidebooks proving detailed information on the available policy
instruments, methodological guidance on issues such as formulating objectives, defining indicators, setting targets,
and integrating strategies into traffic policies. Also, you can find software tools for the evaluation and monitoring of
mobility projects and their effects on emissions, and action plan models and guides to implement traffic manage-
ment including simple guides to Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and their use.
● If you are an energy agency looking for tools to disseminate mobility management practices, here you can find tips,
training materials, action plan models, lists of measures and advice on how to implement transport plans. You can
also find campaign methodologies, blueprint models and good practices to carry out dissemination and stake-
holder engagement activities.
● If you are a fleet operator and you are looking into ways of saving fuel and reducing your costs, here you can find
a wide range of simple tools to help you such as vehicle comparison tools, calculation tools to help assess your
driving costs and CO2 emissions, fuel management guides, fuel saving tips, eco-driving training modules, con-
tract models and specifications for energy saving vehicles. You can also find software tools to help you analyse
your fleets’ efficiency and improve operations, tools to calculate cost savings, and monitoring tools and training
resources on innovative fleet management systems such as computerised vehicle routing and scheduling (CVRS)
which helps to minimise the number of vehicles and drivers for a given workload.
● Other target audiences such as planners, technology suppliers, researchers and vocational trainers can also find train-
ing material, feasibility studies, financial advice, decision support systems and other tools to help them in their job.
If you are looking for tools and guidebooks on urban planning or on biofuels (supply side) you will find additional tools and
guidebooks in the IEe-library under the themes of local energy management and renewable energy respectively.
How to use the IEe-library
The quickest and easiest way to use this library is simply to go to the section on the topic that interests you most and browse
through the descriptions of the tools and guidebooks (see the table on p. 3 for an indication of the intended target audiences for

The Competence project aims to strengthen the knowledge of local management agencies in the transport field. This
collection of training material focuses on the fuel consumption and emissions of road vehicles, how to meet the demands
of stricter emission regulations, the availability of new and cleaner fuels, and describes new concept vehicles. It is primarily
aimed at public authorities and the transport sector, aiming to raise awareness and introduce a new transport vision. The
training material includes presentations on biofuels, fuel cell electric vehicles, battery electric vehicles, conventional fuels
and compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles. The presentations are brief and concise which, although the correct style
for a slide show, does mean the presenter must have a detailed knowledge of the subject in order to fill in the gaps and
provide a full explanation. The reference manuals included in this group of training materials go a long way to providing
this information, although trainers may want to read a little more widely to ensure a concrete knowledge, and to be fully
confident when presenting. The training materials are available in a wide range of European languages.

The e-Atomium project aims to strengthen the knowledge of managing agencies in the field of local and regional
transport. This is a training manual on alternative fuels and vehicles. It covers the following: conventionally fuelled vehicles
(downsizing, recent improvements in diesel engines, low sulphur fuel); exhaust after-treatment; alternative fuels (LPG,
natural gas, biofuels, biodiesel, bioethanol, biogas, hydrogen); alternative vehicle technologies (hybrids, electric batteries,
environmental performance, economics, market penetrations, fuel cells); and European legislation. The use of case studies
throughout illustrates the described theory in practice, and helps readers to better understand the viability of alternative
transport options. An extensive glossary explains key terms and the appendix presents the pros and cons of alternative
fuels in a table. This is a brilliant resource for policy makers and transport operators, enabling them to make fully informed
decisions about the transport provision within their remit.

TYPE OF TOOL: Training Material
KEYWORDS: Awareness Raising | Energy consumption | Training
The e-TREAM (e-learning for Training Energy Agencies in Mobility management and alternative fuels) project ultimately
aims to reduce energy consumption and promote alternative fuels and more sustainable transport modes. This online
tool for ‘e-learning support’ contains a range of resources including study notes, case studies and interactive software. It
is aimed at employees of energy agencies and actors in the transport sector. It provides information on Energy Efficient
Driving, Mobility Management and Alternative Fuels and Vehicles. It integrates training modules from other IEE projects
(COMPETENCE, e-Atomium and TREATISE), and compiles them into a 90 hour course. A notable aspect of this tool is the
availability of feedback. Feedback takes the form of constructive advice sent to the students by the tutor after submitting
each assignment. There are also opportunities to receive advice about wider areas of concern related to the subjects of
study. For rapid feedback, the distance-learning students are encouraged to use the e-TREAM Web gateway, which is
explained on the website. This is a valuable information source, enabling users to increase their knowledge of mobility
management issues and alternative methods of transport. Users must register to undertake the training course, but
registration is free.

KEYWORDS: CO2 emissions | Technologies/ Appliances
GREET (Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Transportation) is a full life-cycle model that allows
researchers and analysts to evaluate various vehicle and fuel combinations on a full fuel-cycle/vehicle-cycle basis.
GREET includes more than 100 fuel production pathways and more than 70 vehicle/fuel systems and technologies. For
a given vehicle and fuel system, GREET separately calculates the following: consumption of total energy (energy in non-
renewable and renewable sources), fossil fuels (petroleum, natural gas, and coal together), petroleum, coal and natural
gas; emissions of CO2-equivalent greenhouse gases - primarily carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide
(N2O); emissions of six pollutants - volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NOx),
small particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), and sulphur oxides (SOx). To address technology improvements over time,
GREET simulates fuel production pathways and vehicle systems over a period from 1990 to 2020, in five-year intervals.
In order to use this tool, registration is required and the tool must be installed.

The PROCURA project was designed to facilitate large scale procurement of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs), by the
provision of guidance to mitigate traditional market barriers. This guidebook introduces the concept of ‘greenleasing’:
the leasing of AFVs. It is aimed at transport fleet operators and public authorities. It discusses the motivation for using
AFVs, including improving air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions; and the motivation for leasing, rather than
buying, vehicles for a fleet, such as improving cashflow. In the first section, contract elements and leasing forms are
discussed, as well as the benefits and disavantages of green vehicle leasing. The second section addresses five aspects
of greenleasing in detail: fleet analysis and management; eco-labelling; maintenance and repair; eco-driving and CO2
compensation schemes; and reconditioning and sale. Several short case studies are used to demonstrate successful
greenlease schemes. This thought-provoking guidebook provides a new angle on climate change mitigation, making
AFVs more accessible to public and private fleets and raising the awareness of fleet operators, enabling them to make
informed decisions.

buses. The guidelines provide criteria for the purchasing of buses and are divided into those to be used when the public
authority directly purchases vehicles, and those for use when tendering services to private or public companies. The
introduction covers the background of particulate emissions, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, cost implications and
the legislative context. The criteria for procurement are split into the following topics: emissions standards, driving style
and quality of service. Further issues discussed include other approaches to emissions and biofuels. The guidelines are
available in English, however a factsheet version is contained within Chapter VI of the Procura+ Manual (DEEP - 11 in

This best practice guide on how to develop a ‘demand responsive’ public transport service on urban bus routes,
thereby reducing vehicle emissions, is part of the SIDDHARTA (Smart and Innovative Demonstration of Demand Handy
Responsive Transport Application) project. One of the project’s aims was to replace diesel buses on existing public
transport routes in the city of Genoa with a new demand responsive transport system using low pollution vehicles. The
aim of this innovative project was to encourage private vehicle owners to switch to public transport (in this case to buses),
and to do so by making the service more flexible and thus more ‘demand responsive’ while producing fewer emissions.
They also published this “Best Practice Guide” to disseminate the results of their environmentally friendly flexible public
transport service and to facilitate its replication in other European cities. The “bus on demand” scheme, trialed on routes
276 and 277 in the City of Genoa, proved both popular and successful and this guide provides recommendations for the
introduction of this type of public transport service in other European cities.

and improve its effectiveness. It contains: checklists of actions; information on assessment and evaluation; calculations
and methods; advice on the formation of surveys, the stakeholder groups to consider and how to plan a meeting or a
campaign. The BYPAD manual analyses the strengths and weaknesses in current policy and gives clear instructions for
improvement. The BYPAD questionnaire is based on European best practice in cycling policy. It is very detailed, facilitating
the accurate self-assessment of municipalities by guiding them through the key issues. Individual questionnaires have
been designed for towns, cities and regions, recognising and reflecting the different circumstances encountered at these
different administrative levels. Regular repetition of the audit (once every two or three years) is recommended to assess
progress. Readers are strongly advised to explore the manual first in order to get a better understanding of the project, its
aims and how to use the questionnaires. The toolkit also includes a glossary which explains important terms. This toolkit
will be of interest to public authorities looking to increase cycling in their area, perhaps as part of a mobility management

Model for the comparison of infrastructure costs caused by use of different

LANGUAGE: EN
TYPE OF TOOL: Calculation Tool | Decision Support System | Feasibility Model
TA R G E T P U B L I C : NGOs | Planners/Builders | Public Authorities
KEYWORDS: Evaluation | Low Cost/ No Cost Measures | Planning
The main aim of this tool is to propose a method for the comparison of infrastructure costs generated by different
transport modes. The calculation tool has been elaborated under the assumption that: “the greater the flow of vehicles
that go through a segment of infrastructure, the greater damage it causes and the greater the infrastructure costs are”.
Therefore the tool is aimed at finding a mathematical formula of the method which will allow calculation of infrastructure
costs generated by different transport alternatives. The mathematical description of the formulas is presented. It has
been made with certain assumptions such as: (1) Infrastructure costs do not depend on any other factor except freight
flow; (2) The money for transport network renovation provided annually by the government varies for different transport
modes; (3) The amount of money for renovation of certain transport link depends only on the flow of vehicles along this
link per year. Furthermore the mathematical method was tested by way of a comparative analysis of the railway and road
transport in Lithuania. Thanks to the formula the following results were obtained: the bigger the flow of vehicles, the
bigger the difference in infrastructure costs for railway and road transport, in favour of the railway transport. Performed
modelling and calculations proved that an alternative of combined transportation is acceptable (in the case of Lithuania)
because it really reduces infrastructure costs and decreases negative impacts of growing road transport. The calculation
tool provides a formula for calculating infrastructure costs and an example for practical application of this formula in the
case of Lithuania. There are detailed explanations of the above-mentioned formula so that it can be used or adapted for
analyses of the infrastructure costs in other countries.

TYPE OF TOOL: Blue Print/ Action Plan Model | Training Material
KEYWORDS: Awareness Raising | Training
This is a training package encouraging public authorities and city planners to use “soft measures”, such as the promotion
and provision of information to increase levels of walking, cycling, car sharing, use of public transport and to encourage
a reduction in the use of the private cars in their cities. It provides target audiences with blueprint models to carry out
dissemination and planning activities such as education and awareness; participation and consultation; information,
advice and marketing; planning and coordination. It also covers associated measures (i.e. cycling facilities, lift-sharing
facilities, public transport information systems and car clubs facilities). Measures to Influence transport Demand to
Achieve Sustainability (MIDAS) provides large amounts of information and ideas as supported throughout by examples of
previous success in cities in Ireland, Italy, UK, Denmark, Romania and France.
Modelling as a means of solving the problem of city traffic optimisation

TYPE OF TOOL: Decision Support System | Planning Tool | Simulation Tool
FUNDING: Private
KEYWORDS: CO2 emissions | Evaluation | Planning
The tool reviews and compares the most popular simulation software products (AIMSUN, PARAMICS and VISSIM) for
37

city traffic modelling at the micro-level. The simulation tool lists the features of the modern simulation packages of
traffic at the micro-level. It allows practitioners to compare the packages according to various indexes, describing these
features. In particular, it provides a detailed example of the use of one of these products – VISSIM 4.0 – for improving
the transport intensity of one of Riga’s Transport Nodes. The problem of city traffic modelling and relating software for
its management is reviewed on the basis of the following features: (1) Application area of the software products; (2) The
level of transport system detailed elaboration; (3) Description of vehicle specifications; (4) Supporting the interface with
other simulation tools and the capability of creating reports and presentations. Several groups of criteria have been used
for the comparative analysis of the above-mentioned features: the transport telematics indices; the indices characterizing
the capability of simulating special features of TS; and the list of measured indices. As an example illustrating the VISSIM
package potential for traffic modelling, the model of the complex Riga’s Transport Node (TN) was used. The main tasks
of modelling were: choosing the optimal movement organization in the junction and the estimation of capacity for each
version of movement, signal heads work optimization and the actions (measures) analysis on cargo transport traffic
simplification. The advantages of the TN reconstruction and the results of the model execution within two different
structures were analyzed. The presented case study proves to be successful and the model is easy to use for complex
transport situations with a high degree of detail, therefore the model is an approximation of reality at maximum.

KEYWORDS: Monitoring | Planning
This decision makers guidebook aims to help all those involved in decisions on land use and transport in cities throughout
Europe whether as politicians, advisers, stakeholders, or individual citizens. This guidebook is a revised version of the
guidebook published in 2003, based on the work of the PROSPECTS project (Procedures for Recommending Sustainable
Planning of European City Transport Systems), a project funded under the European Commission’s Environment and
Sustainable Development Programme. Some of the challenges which cities face are highlighted in this guidebook and
a structured approach to tackling these challenges is suggested. At each stage it focuses on 2 questions: why an issue
is important and what the options for tackling it are. This guidebook is supported by two others, a Methodological
Guidebook, which explains how a particular option can be implemented, and a Policy Guidebook, which explains
how particular policy instruments work. Whereas the Decision-Makers Guidebook provides politicians, senior officials,
and the public with advice on planning and decision-making for a sustainable urban land use/transport system, the
Methodological Guidebook is designed for planning professionals but is considerably more detailed on issues such as
formulating objectives, defining indicators, setting targets, and formulating strategies. The Policy Guidebook is online
and provides detailed information on the available policy instruments and their effects. This Decision-Makers Guidebook
provides details on issues such as the decision-making context, approaches to decision-making, the identification of
problems now and in the future, public participation, as well as implementation and monitoring.

planning of European city transport systems. Transport planners have available to them a wide range of transport policy
instruments. These are the means by which policy objectives can be achieved, and problems identified overcome. The six
key policy objectives are economic efficiency; livable streets and neighbourhoods; protection of the environment; equity
and social inclusion; safety and severity of traffic accidents; and contribution to economic growth; all of which contribute
to the main objective of sustainability. These guidelines consider them under the headings of land use measures (Section
2); attitudinal and behavioral measure assessors (Section 3); infrastructure provision (Section 4); management of the
infrastructure (Section 5); information provision (Section 6) and pricing (Section 7). A final section (Section 8) considers
the ways in which policy instruments might most effectively be integrated into a coherent strategy. A series of tables are
also presented in each section which summarise the impact of each measure on each objective. Where relevant they
consider, under these headings, measures to influence car use; measures to influence public transport use; provision for
cyclists and pedestrians; and provision for freight. These guidelines provide a brief summary on each of the 66 main types
of instrument available, and provide references to useful sources.

VIVALDI-Policy recommendations for clean urban transport

AUTHOR(S): Bristol City Council, 2005, 32 p.
LANGUAGE: EN
FUNDING: EU CIVITAS
The VIVALDI project has four key urban policy goals: sustainability, social inclusion, urban vitality and health and well
being. This policy recommendation report includes illustrative case studies from the cities that took part in this project
and presents the principal policy recommendations as developed by those cities: Aalborg, Bremen, Bristol, Kaunas,
and Nantes. These are delivered by means of 16 case studies that make up the majority of this report. The policy
recommendations are presented under the following headings: new forms of vehicle use and ownership; stimulation of
49

collective modes; pricing strategies; telematics; goods distribution; clean and efficient vehicles; soft measures; access
management; and partnerships and co-operation. The case studies provide valuable lessons for other European cities
looking for a similar approach to clean urban transport.
