“…Signal timing scheme of each intersection is calculated based on collected traffic flow and the signal timing method proposed in [21], which is able to achieve a balance between minimizing average passenger delay and minimizing total vehicle emissions. Thereafter, key parameters of each intersection can be achieved, where splits are saved in vector = [38.2%, 37.5%, 43.3%, 35.5%, 54.0%, 45.0%, 62.8%, 65.8%] (from north to south); common circle length min equals 113 s; maximal common circle length max equals 167 s; average operating speed of general vehicle equals 45 km/h; average operating speed of BRT equals 50 km/h (there are transit lanes in the center of main stem; detailed road cross-sectional figure can be viewed in [22]).…”

Transit signal priority has a positive effect on improving traffic congestion and reducing transit delay and also has an influence on traffic emission. In this paper, an optimal transit signal priority scheme based on an improved algebraic method was developed and its impact on vehicle emission was evaluated as well. The improved algebraic method was proposed on the basis of classical algebraic method and has improvements in three aspects. First, the calculation rules of split loss are more reasonable. Second, the delay caused by transit stations and queued vehicles can be considered. Third, measures for finding optimal ideal intersection interval are improved. By establishing a microscopic traffic emission simulation platform based on microscopic traffic simulation model VISSIM and the comprehensive modal emission model (CMEM), the traffic emissions can be evaluated. Then, an optimal transit signal priority scheme based on the traffic data collected in Changzhou city was developed and its impact on emission was simulated in the VISSIM-CMEM platform. Comparative analysis results showed that proposed scheme can outperform original scheme in the aspects of reducing emission and passenger delay and an average reduction of 25.0% on transit emission and relative decrease in overall traffic emission can be achieved.

“…If commercial banks provide loans for a polluting firm, the banks may suffer environmental risk and lose money through increasingly stringent environmental regulations (Coulson and Monks 1999;Liu 2008a). Conversely, if commercial banks strengthen their environmental risk management (ERM), which will produce incentives on firms to improve their environmental behavior because firms need to obtain loans from banks (Lu et al 2009). Some famous commercial banks, such as Barclays, have integrated ERM into their day-to-day businesses, but Chinese commercial banks have lagged behind in this global trend (Guo 2009).…”

The present study employed a quantitative survey to ascertain whether the external pressure of environmental risk management (ERM) on commercial banks was a contributing factor to their ERM behavior. Data was obtained using questionnaires from 204 branches of commercial banks located in the Yangtze River Delta of China. The relationship between external pressure and behavior was tested using a linear structural relations model through path analysis. The results revealed that external pressure of ERM was significantly and positively related to the behavior and that pressure from governmental regulations was the most important contributing factor in the passive feedback behavior and preventive behavior of commercial banks. The pressure from markets was the most important contributing factor in banks' active participation behavior; the pressure from community and NGOs was the most important contributing factor in their enthusiastic behavior.
