AbstractMotivated by the global importance on economic and environmental issues of energy consumption, current work presents main status of energy in transport in terms of energy distribution and consumption, energy management and optimization of energy usage methods by the different transport types separately. Modern transport techniques and vehicles, energy usage distribution of the transport types, the ratio of the energy consumption of transport type in global energy usage were investigated. In addition, energy management and route determination and optimization by using different artificial intelligence methods according to transport type transported good type, delivery distances were also taken into account. After a general overview of the status, recommendations on the energetic and economic saving opportunities and optimization of energy management in transportation were given in order to provide less economic and ecologic lose by minimizing energy consumption in global transport.
