“…As it has evolved in the US, the origin of TDM is related to federal policy initiatives that first focused on improving the efficiency of urban transportation systems through operational improvements, and then incorporated concerns such as air quality and energy conservation [6]. This short review of the state-ofthe-art of TDM focuses on the literature in this field published since 2000 and the readers interested in a review of TDM before 2000 may refer to [6][7].…”

It is nowadays widely accepted that solving traffic congestion from the demand side is more important and more feasible than offering more capacity or facilities for transportation. Following a brief overview of evolution of the concept of Travel Demand Management (TDM), there is a discussion on the TDM foundations that include demand-side strategies, traveler choice and application settings and the new dimensions that ATDM (Active forms of Transportation and Demand Management) bring to TDM, i.e. active management and integrative management. Subsequently, the authors provide a short review of the state-of-the-art TDM focusing on relevant literature published since 2000. Next, we highlight five TDM topics that are currently hot: traffic congestion pricing, public transit and bicycles, travel behavior, travel plans and methodology. The paper closes with some concluding remarks.

“…Third, passenger km demand is expected to grow by 30% by 2020 [52]. The latter deals with the contributing mechanism limitations such as the TDM (Transportation Demand Management) present in provoking commuting demand changes of circa 30% [53][54][55][56][57][58][59]. This reduction can be obtained by combining low cost, low technology policies in order to build a "conservationist scenario" by 2020.…”

This article examines the inefficient use of resources in the Brazilian transportation system. The energy use growth and external cost generation in this essential economic sector are considerable, and the trend is towards an increasing problem in the coming years. The continued expansion of Brazilian cities and the increase in demand for mobility is a result of a substantial growth in the number of road transport users, as increased earnings enable lower income groups to acquire and use individual motorized means of transport. The aim of this paper is to estimate the potential gains from reducing individual motorized transport by the year 2020. This investigation concludes that in a conservationist scenario, by prioritizing low cost, low technology public policies-which include operation of Bus Rapid Transit systems, walking and cycling facilities and congestion charges, among others-it should be possible to save over USD 30 billion and USD 26 billion in external transportation and infrastructure costs, respectively, up to 2020. In addition, these public policies can save more than 35 million Tons of Oil Equivalents in energy consumption and avoid almost 4,000 thousand tons of local pollution emissions and 37,500 thousand tons of GHG emissions in the same period.
