How and why we travel, mobility demand and emissions from passenger transport
This paper develops the novel open-source Irish Passenger Transport Emissions and Mobility (IPTEM) Model and uses it to calculate passenger transport demand by trip mode, purpose, and distance over the period of 2009 – 2019.

Abstract
The paper quantifies energy consumption and emissions intensities, and for the first time for Ireland, passenger transport occupancy rates. The findings quantify missed targets in walking and cycling uptake rates. Light rail has the lowest CO2 emissions per passenger kilometres among motorized modes
