Meeting the Challenge of Sustainable Mobility: The Role of Technological Innovations de Harry Geerlings

Meeting the Challenge of Sustainable Mobility: The Role of Technological Innovations

Autor Harry Geerlings
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2011
The author provides new insights into the relationship between transport and the environment, the role of technology and the meaning of the concept of sustainable development for the transport sector. Special attention is given to the relationship between technological progress and policy. The different theoretical approaches are combined to create a strategy for R&D and the implementation of mega-technological innovations. The empirical part deals with two specific cases: Maglev technology and fuel-cell technology for transport purposes. Taking into account the new theoretical insights and the empirical findings, the author presents a synthesis and draws conclusions which are important for researchers and professionals in transportation, environmental sciences and related fields.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This book evolves around technological change and the urgent need, from the perspective of environmental sciences, to reduce the impacts caused by transportation.
It provides insights into the relationship between transport and the environment, the role of technology and the meaning of the concept of sustainable development for the transport sector. Special attention is given to the knowledge gleaned from technology dynamics and the role of the government (in cooperation with the private sector) in generating a sustainability-sound technology policy in transportation.
The different theoretical complexities are combined in a strategy for R&D and the implementation of mega-technological innovations. The result of the strategy is the formulation of a 'Window of Technological Opportunity'.
In the empirical part of the study 2 specific cases are dealt with: Maglev technology and fuel-cell technology for transport purposes. In line with the objectives of the study, and taking into account the new theoretical insights and the empirical findings, a synthesis is presented and conclusions drawn.
