This book surveys the impact of the transportation sector on accelerated climate change and the main solutions that have been proposed over the years to address the problem. The examples of these solutions include, but are not limited to, emission reduction targets, electrification of the transportation sector, elimination of vehicles with traditional fossil fuel engines, renewable energy sources, and introduction of emission control measures. Some of these solutions are quite difficult to implement due to the associated costs. Certain approaches may seem rather ambitious and need more thoroug...

Maxim A. Dulebenets is an Associate Professor and Graduate Program Director in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Florida A&M University-Florida State University (FAMU-FSU) College of Engineering. Dr. Dulebenets holds B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Railway Construction from the Moscow State University of Railroad Engineering (Moscow, Russia) and M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Memphis (Memphis, TN – USA) in Civil Engineering with concentration in Transportation. His research interests include, but are not limited to, operations research, optimization, simulation modeling, NP-hard problems, mathematical programming, metaheuristics, hybrid algorithms, evolutionary computation, transportation engineering, freight transportation, intermodal freight facilities, railroads, liner shipping scheduling, and GPS data processing. Dr. Dulebenets has been involved in a variety of research projects with the overall value ~$19.5 million (~$2.9 million as a PI), sponsored by the United States Department of Defense, United States Department of Transportation, National Science Foundation, Center for Accessibility and Safety for an Aging Population, Florida Department of Transportation, Tennessee Department of Transportation, Center for Freight and Infrastructure Research and Education, Federal Highway Administration, Canadian National Railway, Federal Express, Intermodal Freight Transportation Institute, North Caucasus Railroad Authority, and Moscow Railroad Authority. He serves as a referee for 250+ international journals. According to the 2024 Scopus citation report, he is ranked as #14 in the world out of 28,891 scholars in Logistics & Transportation based on the composite c-score c(ns) and last year performance and #148 based on the lifetime performance. His work has been published in the leading international journals, including the International Journal of Production Economics, Information Sciences, Reliability Engineering and System Safety, and IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems. Dr. Dulebenets is actively involved in activities of more than 10 Standing Committees and Subcommittees of the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. He is an Affiliate Member of the INFORMS Optimization Society and a Senior Member of the IEEE. Dr. Dulebenets is a licensed Professional Engineer registered in the State of Michigan (License No 6201063266). Szymon Wi¿niewski is an Associate Professor at the University of ¿ód¿, serving in the Institute of Built Environmental and Spatial Policy within the Faculty of Geographical Sciences. He holds the position of Vice Dean for Development and Promotion of the Discipline of Socio-Economic Geography and Spatial Management. Additionally, he directs the Research Centre for European Spatial Policy and Local Development. His research focuses on transport infrastructure planning and development, transport geography, urban logistics, transport accessibility, spatial mobility, intelligent transport systems, and traffic engineering. His studies have addressed various issues, including the role of low-emission transport zones in shaping urban residents’ mobility behavior, the sensitivity of transport systems to urban floods, and changes in travel behavior in ¿ód¿ following the implementation of Sunday trade restrictions. As Vice Dean, he oversees the research activities of academic staff, ensuring alignment with institutional goals and disciplinary standards. He monitors research progress, assesses publication and project activities, and documents the societal and economic impact of scientific endeavors. He also supervises the preparation of reports demonstrating the societal relevance of research, assisting researchers in compiling the necessary evidence. Szymon Wi¿niewski has authored and co-authored over 130 publications, including four academic monographs. He has participated in numerous research projects, serving as the principal investigator in grants funded by the National Science Centre (NCN) and the National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA). His academic journey includes a bachelor’s degree in Spatial Management (2009) and Logistics (2011), a master’s degree in Spatial Economy (2011), a Ph.D. in Geographical Sciences (2014), and a habilitation in Social Sciences (2022). He has also completed postgraduate studies in Traffic Engineering and Transport Planning (2019) and National Security (2023). As an educator, Szymon Wi¿niewski delivers courses aligned with his research interests, equipping students with knowledge to address contemporary challenges in transport planning and spatial development. Marta Borowska-Stefäska is an Associate Professor and Deputy Director of the Institute of the Built Environment and Spatial Policy at the University of Lodz. Her research interests encompass topics related to flood hazard areas, flood risk management, evacuation, spatial development, daily mobility, transport geography, and GIS. Her academic journey includes a bachelor’s degree in Geography (2008) and Spatial Management (2009), a master’s degree in Spatial Management (2010), and a Ph.D. in Geographical Sciences (2014). She has also completed postgraduate studies in National Security (2023). Marta Borowska-Stefäska has authored and co-authored over 100 publications, including three academic monographs. She has participated in numerous research projects, serving as the principal investigator for grants funded by the National Science Centre (NCN) and the National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA). She actively collaborates with an international network of researchers from countries such as the USA, Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Romania, and Sweden. Her commitment to advancing scientific dialogue is evident in her active participation in over 30 international conferences and her role as a reviewer for prominent journals, including Transportation Research Part D, Safety Science, and Environmental Hazards: Human and Policy Dimensions. Since 2010, she has been teaching at the Faculty of Geographical Sciences of the University of Lodz. Her lectures primarily focus on topics such as Spatial Information Systems and Transport Geography. She has supervised 18 bachelor’s theses, 27 engineering projects, and 14 master’s theses.
