Air Iuav archivio istituzionale della ricerca
AIR è l'Archivio Istituzionale della Ricerca ad accesso aperto dell'Università Iuav di Venezia che ha lo scopo di raccogliere, documentare, diffonderee conservare i prodotti scientifici dell'ateneo.
AIR IUAV si avvale di IRIS, il sistema di gestione integrata dei dati della ricerca del CINECA.
EnglishRail transport is often considered more sustainable than other transport modes, especially air transport. If one compares the operation consumption of trains and aircrafts only, this is inherently true. The present paper presents an unconventional methodology to assess the preferable solutions evaluating the embodied energy of the transport infrastructures, so as to calculate the Lifecycle Energy Requirement of air and rail transport services. The methodology is then applied to an imaginary transport service between two cities, and benchmarked against different transport supplies provided and various morphological condition of the territory affecting the complexity of the rail infrastructure
