Abstract
In recent decades, due to the increase in the urban population and the unbridled growth of urbanization, many efforts have been made to create livable cities by emphasizing the place of renewable energy in the sustainable transportation sector. Using clean, renewable, and sustainable energy resources is needed to improve social, economic, and environmental health, leading to economic development and productivity. This research tries to clarify the importance of using renewable energy in the transportation sector. In this regard, the main goal of this research is to identify effective indicators and sustainable solutions with an emphasis on the use of renewable energy in the urban transportation sector. Also, in this research, an attempt has been made to answer the questions raised by carefully examining the existing studies based on the scoping review method. The findings show that the extracted influential indicators can be categorized into environmental, economic, and social indicators, which have a significant impact on the use of renewable energy in the transportation sector. Paying attention to this index can increase the amount of use of renewable energy and the amount of desirability of the effective use of urban transportation. Finally, suggestions for strengthening sustainable development in urban transportation systems with an emphasis on the use of renewable energy have been presented.
