“…CO banyak dibebaskan oleh kenderaan bermotor terutama kenderaan persendirian yang menggunakan petrol berbanding pencemar yang lain. Di samping itu, Cartaxo et al (2018) pula menyatakan bahawa pelepasan gas CO yang dikeluarkan semasa proses pergerakan kenderaan adalah berbeza mengikut masa.…”

According to a report by the Department of Environment, motor vehicles are the leading cause of high pollutants in Kuala Lumpur. The seriousness of the traffic pollution problem in Kuala Lumpur is also influenced by the level of knowledge, attitude and awareness of the people regarding the process and impact of the traffic pollution. The level of knowledge and awareness of Kuala Lumpur residents on traffic pollution was assessed using descriptive statistical analysis involving 200 residents through simple random sampling in six strategic zones of Kuala Lumpur namely City Centre, Wangsa Maju-Maluri, Sentul-Menjalara, Damansara-Penchala, Bukit Jalil-Seputeh dan Bandar Tun Razak-Sungai Besi. The results show that the level of knowledge and awareness of the population is modest, that is, more than 50 percent of the population shows positive perception in two aspects, namely basic knowledge of traffic pollution (above 55 percent of respondent) and negative impact of air pollution on human health (more than 70 percent of respondent). However, other aspects such as the process of the existence of traffic pollution and the quality of gasoline fuel such as RON show that only 58 percent of population in Kuala Lumpur known about the RON and 42 percent of population does not understand in detail through some given incorrect and inaccurate answers. As a result, population understanding and awareness of traffic air pollution problem is very important to control and reduce the negative on health and quality of population life. Cooperation between the authorities and policy makers is necessary in the implementation of the strategy and introduction of various incentives to the population aimed at controlling and reducing the negative impact of traffic pollution and at the same time offering environmental protection and making environmental health policy more targeted and effective in the city of Kuala Lumpur.

“…In Europe, road transport is responsible for as much as 75% of CO 2 emissions, 40% of HC emissions and 48% of NOx emissions to the atmosphere, while in the USA, despite the reduction in CO emissions, the transport sector is most responsible for the amount of emissions into the atmosphere: carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). Research carried out in Brazil has shown that high traffic intensity caused by the very large number of cars driving on the streets of large cities is responsible for around 90% of CO emissions and from 80% to 90% of HC and NOx emissions [4].…”

“…Due to the fact that passenger cars emit the largest amount of greenhouse gases and are the source of increased noise intensity in cities, which has been proven in many studies, e.g., [2][3][4], reducing the number of private sector vehicles driving on the streets of large agglomerations could serve as an opportunity of reducing the harmfulness of road transport to the environment.…”

Analysis of Incentives to Eco-Driving for Car Rental Companies’ Customers

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The problem of road traffic is one of the key challenges that cities will have to deal with in the future. It is also a problem directly related to the concept of sustainable development. Reducing the negative impact of road traffic in future cities can be achieved through cooperation in the following areas: social—shaping customer behavior and habits, economic—changing attitudes towards owning a car, and environmental—aimed at reducing the vehicle’s impact on the natural environment. A literature review was used to identify the research gap concerning the impact of the incentive system on increasing the environmental performance of drivers under short-term rental. Referring to the research gap, the main goal of the article is to identify the attractiveness of eco-driving incentives for drivers under short-term rental. The study used the survey method. The study was based on 323 completed questionnaires (female—122 and male—201). The following methods were also used in the analysis of the results: Anderson–Darling, Mood’s Median test and Kruskal Wallis multiple pairwise comparisons. The evaluation of the attractiveness of the incentive to eco-driving depends on the characteristic of the client who rents the car. Thus, it is possible to shape incentive systems for car rental customers that can shape their positive behavior on the road. Among the most attractive incentives for eco-driving in a rented car are: the possibility of upgrading a car in the next rental, discount for future rental and free car-wash.

“…Emissions from road transport have been identified as the main source of ambient air pollution in Slovenian urban areas as well as worldwide, especially in European and North American cities [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Many documents emphasise that air pollution is a major health problem for the world population, as 55% of the world population lives in urban areas [7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

The extreme traffic measures during the COVID-19 lockdown provided a unique opportunity to gain better insight into the relationship between traffic characteristics and NO2 concentrations in Maribor, a small Slovenian city. NO2, traffic and meteorological data were statistically processed in detail for March and April 2018, 2019 and 2020 to get a historical insight and to exclude the specifics of the lockdown period. The extreme event resulted in an average reduction of road traffic of 42%. The decrease in the number of passenger cars ranged from 33.9 to 60.3% per day with the largest decrease on the motorway. Daily averages of heavy goods traffic declined on the motorway and the expressway by 24.6% and 7%, respectively. Traffic characteristics were reflected in a 24–27% decrease in NO2 concentrations at the urban station. The change is smaller than the change in traffic volume, which could be explained by the change in the composition of the vehicle fleet due to the increase in NO2-dominant traffic sources, e.g. diesel heavy goods vehicles. The presented results are relevant for improving air quality and sustainable mobility management in small cities. They highlight the important role of reorganisation of heavy goods traffic in urban logistics.
