INTELIGENT TRAFFIC POLICY AS TOOL FOR IMPROVING LIFE QUALITY IN CITIES
KOMUNALNA ENERGETIKA / POWER ENGINERING, 24
Traffic positively influence on society as key driver of economy. However traffic accidents, emissions, jams, poison gases, dust particles and negative effects on environment causes lots of negative consequences and expenses. Electric cars and vehicles powered by energy from renewable sources can reduce most of these negative effects.
Increase rate of green vehicles is low despite positive impacts of these vehicles.
There are many reasons: from high prices, short range to uninformed and unconscious buyers.
Beside financial incentives, building more charging points, better results can be achieved with different traffic organizaion in urban environments and use of different soft methods to motivate potential users of these vehicles.
Greater number of electric and other “clean” energy powered vehicles will improve life quality, increase competitiveness of the region and reduce its energy dependency.
