THE ASSESSMENT MODEL OF ENERGY SECURITY IN THE ROAD TRANSPORT SECTOR IN POLAND

The current economic situation and adopted by the member states ofEuropean Union (including Poland) energy policy makes it increasingly looking for alternative sources of supply. This theme refers not only to the energy sector but also to the others, including the road transport sector.The future of the automotive industry is not only striving for the lowest CO2 emissions, but also to rationalize fuel consumption and to reduced a noise levels. Therefore, the interest of an alternative fuels such as LPG, CNG, LNG is still growing. In the current situation we should take appropriate steps to create an optimal scheme showing how changes in the structure of fuel consumption in road transport affect the level of safety in this sector. The aim of this article is to attempt at creating model for the assessment of energy security in the road transport sector in the national realities. The model based on the authors experience and pursuant of multivariate data analysis inter alia, in research and analysis of literature sources. In the first part of the article the authors define the concept ofenergy security in the sector, and then presented a four-dimensional manner of its examination - physical, economic, environmental and social - and having these criteria, bearing in mind the fact that it is impossible to measure all the elements shaping the broad energetic safety. At the end of the article, the authors attempted to design evaluation index of energy security in the Polish road transport by adopting an additive aggregation formula.
