Affluence, Spatial Spillovers, and Inequality in Household Energy Transitions
This study investigates the spatial and socioeconomic determinants of household adoption of sustainable technologies in Ireland—specifically heat pumps (HP), solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, electric vehicles (EV), and EV home chargers (EVHC). Using a Spatial Seemingly Unrelated Regression Generalised Nested Model (SPSUR-GNM) at the electoral division (ED) level, we analyse 2804 EDs combining socioeconomic, housing, transport, and demographic dat…
Transport emission modelling based on a bottom-up approach to facilitate sustainable transport planning
Modelling road transport emissions is critical in designing sustainable policies. Traditional emission models follow a top-down approach by distributing the emissions for a region based on the vehicle stock. This research envisions a bottom-up approach based on the link traffic volume, fleet, and emission factors to develop an improved model for link-based transport emissions. The proposed model is integrated with the National Transport Model for…
Understanding the determinants of bike-sharing demand in the context of a medium-sized car-oriented city
Emerging modes of shared mobility like bike-sharing may significantly contribute to increasing the share of sustainable travel in medium- and small-sized cities. However, research exploring the bike-sharing usage determinants specifically for them has been severely underrepresented in the literature. To address this gap, we conducted an analysis of bike-sharing rentals for over a one-year period in Milton Keynes, a medium-sized city of 288,000 re…
Evaluating the readiness for electric vehicle adoption among the urban population using geospatial techniques
Electric mobility is critical to reducing emissions from transport and dependency on Internal Combustion Engine vehicles. This study attempts to model the suitability of the built environment for electric vehicle (EV) adoption in urban areas based on sociodemographics and access to driveways for installing charging infrastructure. A novel approach using geospatial techniques is adopted to detect driveways from multispectral remote sensing informa…
Driving as essential, cycling as conditional
Car-based automobility remains dominant across Europe despite the high energy requirements such a system embeds. This system is becoming increasingly problematised. As part of an alternative vision for everyday mobility, an aspiration for v elomobility appears to be growing. In light of the persistent subordinate status of cycling across much of Europe relative to driving, attempts to lay the foundations for everyday cycling are often pursued thr…
Identifying optimal locations for community electric vehicle charging
This research seeks to identify suitable locations for deploying community Electric Vehicle charging points using a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based approach. The charging infrastructure is classified into shared-residential, en-route, and destination charging types, and each type's selection criteria are chosen according to the characteristics of targeted end-users. The investigation identified 770 ideal locations in Dublin that may be …
Assessing the impact of mobility on the incidence of Covid-19 in Dublin City
COVID-19 has had a major impact on the transport systems around the world. Several transport-related policies were implemented in short period of time to contain the spread of the pandemic. These policies had a major influence on travel behavior and people's perception towards the safety of different modes of transport, especially public transport, thus affecting several sustainable mobility initiatives. To build a resilient and sustainable trans…
Customer engagement strategies in retail electricity markets
Retail electricity markets require development to ensure efficient and equitable pass through of wholesale electricity costs to customers. Customer engagement has been heralded as a concept to improve the wholesale-to-retail link, better harness flexible demand loads and co-ordinate distributed renewable generation and storage. This study reviews the state-of-the-art customer engagement trends in retail electricity markets, and in doing so, it fi…
Desire to work from home
Large levels of working from home (WfH) were induced by social distancing and viral control measures undertaken to mitigate the Covid-19 pandemic. Representing an unpredicted change in the way large amounts of people undertake their day to day work, it is expected that the legacy of this event, in terms of significant alterations to work and commuting patterns will have wide-ranging and long-lasting results. However, how persistent the current tr…
Examining transport needs in the global south using a screening framework
Despite the increasing emphasis on the social aspects of transport externalities in the global agenda of public policies (UN, 2016), transport appraisals (ex-ante) are still strongly driven by economic and environmental analysis only (Geurs et al. 2009; Jones and Lucas 2012). In this context, the goals targeting poverty reduction and social well-being promotion become fundamentally undermined when the social impacts are overlooked in the decision…
