| Summary | This project aims to develop an integrated model that correlates vehicle usage with energy consumption and emissions for evaluating the effects of vehicle ownership and/or usage management strategies on the reduction of energy consumption and emissions. In doing so, a total of 147,000 questionnaires are disseminated with 17,197 valid questionnaire samples surveyed. Accordingly, this project respectively developed a nationwide and regional disaggregate dynamic choice of models of cars and motorcycles, including ownership and usage choice model, type and vintage choice model, and alternative-fuel vehicle choice model. To enhance the applicability of the proposed models, this project integrated all these models to respectively develop two decision support systems, namely the Decision Support System for Management Strategies of Cars and Motorcycles and Optimizing Management Strategies of Cars and Motorcycles, which can be used to propose and evaluate the related management strategies of cars and motorcycles. Finally, the contributions to energy consumption and emissions reduction of several management strategies are estimated by the proposed systems. The experiences and consequences of the corresponding strategies which have been implemented in other countries are also compiled. Obviously, the proposed models and systems can be used to facilitate the analysis of the effects of management strategies on the reduction of energy consumption and emissions. |
