Improving the Energy Efficiency of the Transport Infrastructure of the Modern City and Region

Abstract

The energy efficiency of urban transport infrastructure, especially motor transport infrastructure, is a very actual problem in the modern world, and is of both theoretical and practical interest. The purpose of the survey is to study the negative impact of transport infrastructure on the ecology of Volgograd and the Volgograd region, to identify the main directions for improving the energy efficiency of certain types of transport in the city and region. The following tasks were solved to achieve the aim: the characteristics, the state of the transport infrastructure and its negative impact on the environment of the city and region were considered; proposals for improving the energy efficiency of the transport infrastructure of the city and region are presented, which are based on the study of experience of successful practices. The object of study is the transport infrastructure of the city and region, the subject of the study is external and internal factors, the processes of the negative impact of the transport infrastructure of the city and region on its environment. The obtained results and conclusions are characterized by novelty, scientific and practical importance in terms of substantiating proposals for the use and introduction of new energy-saving technologies in the transport infrastructure as a condition for the safe and sustainable development of the economy and ecology of the city and region. The main methods are the analytical method and the method of collecting information which are used in this study.
