Speed Optimization vs Speed Reduction: the Choice between Speed Limits and a Bunker Levy [PDF]
Sustainability, 2019 “Speed optimization and speed reduction” are included in the set of candidate short-term measures under discussion at the International Maritime Organization (IMO), in the quest to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ships. However, there is much confusion on what either speed optimization or speed reduction may mean, and some stakeholders have ...

Speed optimization versus speed reduction: Are speed limits better than a bunker levy? [PDF]
Maritime Economics and Logistics, 2019 The purpose of this paper is to shed some light on the speed limit debate, and specifically to look into whether reducing speed by imposing a speed limit is better than achieving the same by imposing a bunker levy. This debate, along with the various issues of speed optimization versus speed reduction, is currently ongoing at the International Maritime

Speed reduction in aviation: A double dividend for decarbonization
Transportation Research Interdisciplinary PerspectivesAviation faces a structural paradox: five decades of efficiency gains have been absorbed by traffic growth, and absolute emissions continue to rise. Existing sector-wide decarbonization scenarios from ICAO and IATA rest almost entirely on Sustainable ...

Influence mechanism of visual perception of edge rate lines cycle length on driver’s speed
Transport, 2021 It is known that the installation of edge rate lines can help reduce driving speed. Theoretically, higher edge rate density leads to higher perception speed, so as the effect of speed reduction.

Synergy Effect of Factors Characterising Village Transition Zones on Speed Reduction
Energies, 2021 There are various traffic calming measures that can be installed in village transition zones. So far, focus was placed on diversified use of pavement markings, amounts of horizontal deflection, shape of the installed chicanes or central islands, presence
