Mahlia T.M.I. 36961302000 7003701545 55345517400 55812336800 37057508600 56997615100 Budget control; Crashworthiness; Energy efficiency; Energy policy; Energy utilization; Environmental impact; Fossil fuels; Highway planning; Population statistics; Travel time; Vehicles; Adverse environmental impacts; Demographic variables; Effective approaches; Governmental policies; Infrastructure managements; Road transportation; Total energy consumption; Transportation sector; Traffic congestion The increasing number of vehicles and drivers have led to a marked increase in travel time expenditure (TTE), congestion, demand for fossil fuels, and adverse environmental impacts. Improving energy efficiency in the transportation sector, public awareness of the behavior of the people vis-�-vis energy efficiency, implementing policies that encourage other modes of transportation (e.g., public transit, ride-sharing, bicycles, and walking, etc.) that decrease vehicle dependency are some effective approaches that mitigate the aforementioned negative effects, which will lead to significant reductions in the total energy consumption. This article investigates the effect of governmental policies on vehicle dependency reduction and the decrease of TTE by vehicle owners, and propose a novel method to calculate the current and future TTEs by individuals. The effect of demographic variables and the region on vehicle dependency and TTE for students of three of the most populated universities in Malaysia (University of Malaya, University Putra Malaysia, and University Technology Malaysia) were investigated as well. The peoples� expectations from individual modes of transportation such as cycling and walking were also analyzed. The results showed that all demographic factors, except nationality, affect the levels of vehicle ownership, while income levels and nationality affects TTE by personal vehicles. The results show that the average TTE can be reduced by 89% if the recommended infrastructure (e.g., increase bus routes, train routes, train services, frequencies of buses and train, and facilities for cyclists, etc.) is provided. These outcomes can assist policy makers to efficiently manage transportation budgets, and would also help people decrease vehicle usage, which will subsequently decrease their corresponding TTE and fuel consumption. � 2017 Elsevier Ltd Final 2023-05-29T06:40:37Z 2023-05-29T06:40:37Z 2017 Review 10.1016/j.rser.2017.04.015 2-s2.0-85017502040 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85017502040&doi=10.1016%2fj.rser.2017.04.015&partnerID=40&md5=40061bee308bc3c48efbee281041a83a https://irepository.uniten.edu.my/handle/123456789/23453 77 327 335 Elsevier Ltd Scopus |
