Data needs in transportation energy conservation research
Abstract
An overview of the subject of data needs in transportation energy conservation research is presented. The discussion focuses upon data which are needed for analysis of economic, social and technological factors which determine energy consumption and conservation aspects in the transportation sector. It is conceived that credible information related to energy supply and demand will help to facilitate a consensus about United States energy policy. Data needs which relate to patterns of energy consumption in the transportation sector were identified. Most of the topics discussed call for research in addition to data collection. It is concluded that tremendous deficiencies exist in regard to data needs for planning transportation systems under the current petroleum constraints.
