Automobiles account for most of the energy consumption in the transportation sector. Modal shift measures to convert this way of transportation to using such a public means as railways are drawing attentions. An energy reduction amount calculating model has been developed that responds to the wider use of electric vehicles and regulations on automobile traffics, including the modal shift measures. A case study has been performed on the Tokyo area using this model, and an attempt has also been made on selecting areas that would achieve good effects according to types of the measures. The result may be summarized as follows: while passenger transportation in the whole Tokyo area consumes energy of 164.5 Tcal/day, application of the modal shift measures can reduce the total energy amount by about 12% to 15%; the areas that would achieve especially high effect are those along the Takasaki and Tokaido railway lines; and in measures for spreading the use of electric vehicles, the areas could be the whole western part of the Tokyo ward district for personal trips, and the periphery of Atsugi City for business trips.
