Transport satisfies part of the contemporary needs for mobility. Research into solutions that reduce the impact on the balance of resources in the ecosystem at planetary level while answering to mobility demands forms a major mobilizing axis for various types of player: scientific communities, and political and economic players. The aim is to design, implement and use sustainable transport. Improving urban mobility is one of the points included in the agenda of all governing bodies. As transport uses a quarter of the world's energy resources, energy is at the center of the sustainable transport problem. From 1970 to 1990, industrialized countries were preoccupied with the environmental impact of transport, largely related to the quality of the air breathed in, as well as noise, and with public policies that increasingly stress the emission of sensitive gases. Environmental considerations now focus on the problem of greenhouse gases, mainly CO2.
