Questions.
• It includes road vehicle , railways,
waterways, canals, pipelines, and terminals.
• It measures transportation system
effectiveness, efficiency and environmental
impacts.
• Traditional transport planning aims to
improve mobility, especially for vehicle, and
may fail to adequately consider
environmental impact.

Green Vehicles:
•Currently 95% of transport energy comes from
petroleum.
•Green vehicle intends to have less
environmental impact than equivalent standard
vehicle.
•Electric vehicle, Hybrid vehicle, Natural gas
vehicle, Biofuels vehicle, Compressed air
vehicle are samples of Green vehicle.

Questions.
• Electrical vehicle needs long time for
recharging and large size of batteries to run
for long distance. (Hundai electrical bus run
to 52miles -84Km- in 30min. charge.)
• Battery manufacturing has a lot of objections
from the environmentalists point of view.
• All the biofuel vehicle mixing the biofuel with
petroleum products (diesel, natural-gas,..) for
better performance.
• Scientists express concerns about land-use
change in response to greater demand for
biofuel and the subsequent carbon
emissions.

• Powered by motors driven by compressed air.
• Use the expansion of compressed air, in a
similar manner to the expansion of steam in
steam-engine.
• Gases may use to increase energy density,
and performance.

Questions.
Disadvantages:
•It will be considered as clean car, only if the
electricity used for the compressor, generated
from sustainable source.
•The distance that an air car covers –without
refueling- is crucial. (less than 100miles will be
fine)
•Cars lightweight construction might make it
difficult for them to pass the stringent American
Safety Requirements, whereas it’s essential for
the travel distance needs.

Questions.
Which vehicle should use Compressed-air
engine?
•Should be worked for short travel distance.
•Should have stops within it’s trip for refueling.
•Do not require high speed, because high speed
consume too much air, which enlarge the tank
sizes.

Questions.
Sustainable source of power for refuel points
(Bus stops):
1- Solar photo-voltaic panel:
Advantages:
*Renewable and sustainable resource.
* Solar Cells are totally silent.
* Require very little maintenance.
*Manufacturers have 20-year
warranties.
Disadvantages:
* Solar panels are expensive to buy
*Storage system usually include
batteries.

2- Stirling engine:
•A Stirling engine is a heat engine operating by
cyclic compression and expansion of air, other
gas, or liquid.
•Its efficient, quiet operation, and it can use
almost any heat source (such as solar).
