Abstract
Protection of the society from the negative consequences of the road traffic
is a global challenge. The greatest challenges are related to emissions of
harmful combustion products and road safety. One of the possible solutions
of this challenge is purchasing and using a new, more environmentally
friendly passenger car (cleaner and safer). As a more environmentally
friendly passenger cars, we considered electric and autonomous passenger
cars. Although these cars are more environmentally friendly, their negative
feature is high purchase costs. This paper aims to create a model for
determining the period of use when the decision to purchase a new, more
environmentally friendly passenger car instead of a new, less
environmentally friendly passenger car (petrol or diesel) would be
beneficial. For that purpose, we analyzed costs, emission and road safety
during life cycle. The developed model was applied on real data from Great
Britain. Using the results of the model, stakeholders and customers of
passenger cars would be able to reach better quality decisions related to
purchasing the new passenger cars.
