The physics of mobility: an interesting comparison of road, rail, and air travel

Aerotime

His innovative approach integrates infrastructure and movement processes into holistic CO2 and energy comparisons. Energy is always required for acceleration, to overcome air drag, as well as rolling and friction resistance of wheels on road and rail, and for “lifting work”, i.e., working against gravity. Differently.
