Abstract
Consumption of electricity and greenhouse gas production represents the actual global issues. To reduce energy consumption and the amount of CO2 specific local measures need to be adopted. For this study it was analyzed the urban transportation system from Brasov Metropolitan Area. The study was made for the transportation route that connects Brasov city and Săcele city. For Săcele city it was made a prediction model in order to the decrease the energy consumption and the CO2 amount resulted from road transportation. For this study ware considered four optimization measures: vehicle fleet renewal; increasing the average travel speed; making bicycle lanes; and students mobility management. There were calculated the proportions of decrease for the following: final energy consumption [MWh] and total CO2 Emissions / CO2 equivalent for each implemented measure.
