The main objectives of UTM and the range of measures, either adopted or proposed, to achieve those objectives are reviewed and the problems associated with the quantification of energy impacts of UTM measures are highlighted. This is followed by the estimation of the fuel consumption impacts of traffic engineering and demand management measures such as traffic signal coordination, speed limits, bus priority measures, cordon restraint, parking controls, car pooling and public transport incentives. It is concluded that most management measures, which are practically and politically feasible at present, have very limited fuel saving potential at the national level. However, computer controlled traffic coordination offers a very cost effective means of savings in urban fuel consumption.
