Energy use in transportation and the effects on road accidents of improvement in the highway safety systems

Abstract

Energy conservation is needed improved energy efficiency, improved insulation and heat recovery, effective energy usage, process change and improvement, and good maintenance of machinery and equipments. Efficiency is usually measured as the ratio of energy output and input. The development of energy-efficiency indictors, for any country, is limited by the availability of data. The main areas related to energy efficiency are buildings, transportation, industry and power. With the urbanization process constantly accelerated, it causes a lot of the traffic safety problems. It is a serious subject how to bring down the high rate of traffic accidents through the traffic safety management.
