TLDR
The authors decompose passenger transport energy use into activity, modal structure and modal energy intensity, and show that increases in total activity (passenger travel) have been the driving force behind increased energy use, offset somewhat by declining energy intensity.About:

Time Use and Physical Activity: A Shift Away from Movement across the Globe
Shu Wen Ng,Barry M. Popkin +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured historical and current MET by four major physical activity domains (occupation, home production, travel and active leisure) and sedentary time among adults (>18 years).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a narrative of future change based on observable trends that results in low energy demand and showed how changes in the quantity and type of energy services drive structural change in intermediate and upstream supply sectors (energy and land use).
