Workshop Synthesis: Caring for the Environment

This paper summarizes the discussion of the “caring for the environment workshop”, including the following research challenges in dealing with environmental concerns and preferences related to transportation decisions: adoption of multidisciplinary survey methods that account for dynamics in a broad sense, sensor-based and crowd-sourced energy and environmental inventories for active data collection, and design of effective behavioural interventions where data collection and information provision are integrated aiming at the goal of reducing environmental footprints. In particular, non-traditional tools such as gamification should be explored further as part of the design of the behavioural interventions.
