“…The transport sector was responsible for the second-largest amount of GHG emissions in 2016, following the electricity and heat generation sector [2]. For the same period, 74% of transport sector emissions were attributed to road transport [3]. Road transport will continue to grow, with a projected global increase of 60% in the total length of roads by 2050 over that in 2010 [4].…”

Assessing the current levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from road transportation projects allows for benchmarking and is essential for potential emissions reduction. The objective of this study was to estimate the GHG emissions associated with the construction and operation of three road cases—two primary roads and one secondary road network—in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The GHG emissions produced by the study cases were estimated using the RoadCO2 estimation tool. Results showed that the total emissions (in kg CO2e/m2/y) range from 76 for the secondary road case to 1100 for the primary road cases. The operation phase is responsible for 94–98% of these emissions; the construction phase is responsible for the rest. Road works contributed the most to GHG emissions during the construction phase. The contribution of the remaining categories of the construction phase fluctuates within a certain case and among the considered cases. The equipment used in the construction phase for the three cases contributed 15–70% of the total phase emissions, while the remaining emissions were due to construction materials. In the operation phase, emissions were mainly generated by vehicle movement. Street lighting also contributed to emissions during the operation phase. On the other hand, the irrigation of planted trees along the road had a very low impact on GHG emissions, and carbon sequestration by these trees had a negligible effect in terms of acting as a carbon sink. The results obtained from this study were compared with other cases reported in the literature.

“…Several papers [8][9][10][11][12] have been developed to analyze vehicle emissions and evaluate the effects traffic flow on air pollution. For instance, [13] studied GHG and vehicular emissions trends in the China region and [14] proposed a vehicle emission model to study the vehicular emission trend and emission factors and based on vehicle mileage traveled in China.…”

Modelling traffic flow emissions at signalized intersection with PTV vissim

et al. 2021

The effect of roadway intersection design is strictly linked to a reduction in traffic congestion, fuel consumption and emissions in an urban area. This paper presents a comparative result of the typical four-legged intersection and roundabout operational performance for effective management. Accordingly, a computer model for estimation traffic emissions for two kinds of intersections is created. This study presents a detailed analysis and modelling traffic flow emissions using PTV vissim software and methodology with reasonable solutions to plan a road intersection.

“…From the other point of view, transportation technologies play a noteworthy role in air pollution. In recent times, green procurement has emerged in the transportation issue, as discussed in some prior investigations (Marcilio et al 2018;Sim 2017;Xiao and Konak 2017).…”

In view of the significance of transportation management and logistics in the economic concept and raising the productivity of production systems, well-timed procurement of perishable materials and goods is determined as a pivotal prerequisite for economic and environmental development. Since the perishable goods produced must be made delivered to consumers as early as possible on account of the limited lifespan, thus, the vulnerability of these products is extremely high, owing to the high cost of transportation as well as the environmental impacts. So that solves this problem, this study represents a problem of dynamic green vehicle routing of perishable products in green traffic conditions that optimizes the total cost for a dynamic transportation network and minimizes environmental influences, and increases customer satisfaction. The introduced model is implemented in light of time windows as a trustworthy solution for monitoring the dynamic logistics process and attaining instantaneous information on the basis of the green traffic situation and travel duration, which is commonly known by the Logit function. Assuming the three-objective programming model, we consider a new improved algorithm developed for a novel augmented ε-constraint heuristic approach. Furthermore, robust optimization has been conducted for the established problem to tackle with uncertainties. Uncertainties are included demand and economic parameters. Eventually, to validate the proposed model, a case study was carried out at Kaleh Amol Dairy Company in Iran. The conclusions of sensitivity analysis by implementing the model in the real world indicate that the model and approach presented in various uncertainty scenarios have high flexibility.
