A System Dynamics Model For The Reduction Of Health Expenditures Through Transition To Hydrogen Vehicles (Srth): Case Studies In the Usa, China, And India

In this study, system dynamics (SD) modeling is used as a tool to evaluate the transition to hydrogen within the transportation sector and its effect in reducing of health expenditures. SD modeling is a useful tool for researchers when the system they are studying is large, complex, containing interdependent variables. In order to understand why SD modeling is necessary to study the transition toward hydrogen energy for transport, we must first discuss the significance of ambivalence and the meaning of transition. Then, we can apply the transition framework to understand the problems in the transportation sector. This will justify the use of SD to explore the central problem of transportation sector transition to hydrogen energy and its benefits. This paper provides a short background on SD, explains its application to hydrogen powered transportation, and health benefits for USA, China and India.
