Transport and Energy Research: A Behavioral Perspective deals with the transport issues associated with energy from a behavioral perspective in an interdisciplinary and systematic way. Existing transport and energy research has focused on technologies and energy efficiency; however, more efficient technologies do not necessarily lead to energy reduction. Unfortunately, very limited behavioral research can be found in the literature. This book covers major transport modes in major countries. It emphasizes the importance of researching the behaviors of not only transport and energy service users, but also transport and energy service providers, policy makers, organizations, company managers, and other stakeholders who are involved in and/or affected by transport and energy policies. It not only overviews the history of relevant research and presents new developments but also extensively discusses the future research issues. Various findings are summarized for reducing energy consumption from a behavioral perspective. This book provides readers with behavioral insights into more effective policymaking. Behavioral interventions are recommended as a key policy instrument for reducing energy consumption in a sustainable way. It provides policy makers with comprehensive insights into making more effective policies over the whole process of policymaking. The book can serve as a handbook for researchers and a textbook for graduate students in the fields of transport, energy, environment, planning, public policy, behavioral studies, and so on.

Examines transport and domestics issues associated with energy from a behavioral perspective in both an interdisciplinary and comprehensive way Offers an overview of current relevant research and the most recent developments Provides rich information about future research trends and innovative insights into effective policymaking

Based on data collected from around ten Asian cities, including both developed and developing cities, this book presents a pathway to sustainable transport on the continent with a focus on economic and environmental sustainability.

This book aims to provide a good understanding of and perspective on sustainable transport in Asia by focusing on economic, environmental, and social sustainability. It is widely acknowledged that the current situation and trends in transport are not always sustainable in Asia, due in part to the fast-growing economy and the astounding speed of urbanization as well as least-mature governance. As essential research material, the book provides strong support for policy makers and planners by comprehensively covering three groups of strategies, characterized by the words “avoid” (e.g., urban form design and control of car ownership), “shift” (e.g., establishing comprehensive transportation systems and increasing public transportation systems for both intracity and intercity travel), and “improve” (e.g., redesign of paratransit system, low-emission vehicles, intelligent transportation systems, and eco-life). These are elaborated in the book alongside consideration of the uncertainty of policy effects in the future. The book is also valuable for scholars and scientists because of the diverse methodologies presented and proposed herein. Among those are the four-step model with full feedback mechanisms, the bi-level programming model with sustainability goals, data envelopment analysis and stochastic frontier analysis approaches, structural equation models, discrete and/or continuous choice models, copula-based models, survival models, and driving risk models with short-term memory. Using data collected from more than ten Asian cities, including those in both developed and developing nations, the pathway to sustainable transport in Asia gradually becomes clear.

This book presents a life-oriented approach, which is an interdisciplinary methodology proposed for cross-sectoral urban policy decisions such as transport, health, and energy policies. Improving people’s quality of life (QOL) is one of the common goals of various urban policies on the one hand, while QOL is closely linked with a variety of life choices on the other. The life-oriented approach argues that life choices in different domains (e.g., residence, neighborhood, health, education, work, family life, leisure and recreation, finance, and travel behavior) are not independent of one another, and ignorance of and inability to understand interdependent life choices may result in a failure of consensus building for policy decisions. The book provides evidence about behavioral interdependencies among life domains based on both extensive literature reviews and case studies covering a broad set of life choices. This work further illustrates interbehavioral analysis frameworks with respect to various life domains, along with a rich set of future research directions. This book deals with life choices in a relatively general way. Thus, it can serve not only as a reference for research, but also as a textbook for teaching and learning in varied behavior-related disciplines.

This book introduces a transformative framework for rethinking how transportation systems shape, protect, and sustain urban and societal life. Drawing inspiration from the principles of immunology, this book redefines transportation as a living, self-regulating system—one that defends cities and society from disruptions, regenerates after crises, and adapts continuously to change.Going far beyond traditional views of mobility, the book explores how transportation interacts with energy, materials, tourism, health, and regional development to form an integrated urban and societal ecosystem. Through this immune-inspired lens, transportation is not an isolated sector but a circulatory and defensive network—a central mechanism through which cities and society maintain balance, vitality, and resilience.Each chapter bridges multiple disciplines. Readers will discover how renewable energy systems can be harmonized with transportation through immune-based control; how AI-driven traffic management supports adaptive responses; how low-altitude mobility and cross-border logistics strengthen regional immunity; and how tourism and public health policies can be integrated into a shared framework for sustainable urban vitality. The proposed Transportation Immune System (TIS) exemplifies this vision—an intelligent, adaptive infrastructure capable of detecting threats, responding dynamically, and facilitating systemic recovery.Through a systems-thinking approach, this book shows how transportation can serve as the metabolic and immune backbone of cities and society. It goes beyond simply moving people and goods to mobilize energy, data, and resources in ways that enhance collective resilience and vitality. Supported by immune-informed policy frameworks, this vision bridges sectors and promotes cross-disciplinary collaboration.Aimed at researchers, planners, policymakers, educators, and students, this book presents a bold roadmap for designing the cities and societies of the future. It reimagines transportation as more than a mere mobility service—it becomes a life-sustaining, regenerative system that protects urban and societal health, fosters sustainable growth, and strengthens the interconnected fabric of our communities.
