“…The drivers’ responses to similar situations when operating the same vehicle at different timeframe varies, and this has a big impact on emissions and fuel consumption because of how differently they use acceleration and speed (Brundell-Freij and Ericsson 2005 ; Frey et al 2002 ). Similar to this, network conditions such as congestion and stop-and-go traffic have the potential to adversely affect aggregate emissions (Barth and Boriboonsomsin 2008 ; Aminzadegan et al 2022 ). However, throughout the past two decades, numerous initiatives have been taken to reduce vehicle emissions (Shaheen and Lipman 2007 ).…”

One of the significant sources of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions is the road transportation sector. These emissions are worsened by driving behaviors and network conditions. It is common knowledge that experienced and inexperienced drivers behave differently when operating vehicles. Given the same vehicle in a different timeframe, the drivers’ reactions to similar situations vary, which has a significant influence on the emissions and fuel consumption as their use of acceleration and speed differ. Because the driving patterns of automated vehicles are programmable and provide a platform for smooth driving situations, it is predicted that deploying them might potentially reduce fuel consumption, particularly in urban areas with given traffic situations. This study’s goal is to examine how different degrees of automated vehicles behave when it comes to emissions and how accelerations affect that behavior. Furthermore, the total aggregated emissions on the synthesized urban network are evaluated and compared to legacy vehicles. The emission measuring model is based on the Handbook Emission Factors for Road Transport (HBEFA)3 and is utilized with the Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) microscopic simulation software. The results demonstrate that acceleration value is strongly correlated with individual vehicle emissions. Although the ability of automated vehicles (AVs) to swiftly achieve higher acceleration values has an adverse effect on emissions reduction, it was compensated by the rate of accelerations, which decreases as the automation level increases. According to the simulation results, automated vehicles can reduce carbon monoxide (CO) emissions by 38.56%, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 17.09%, hydrocarbons (HC) emissions by 36.3%, particulate matter (PMx) emissions by 28.12%, nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions by 19.78% in the most optimistic scenario (that is, when all vehicles are replaced by the upper bound automated vehicles) in the network level.

“…Industrial sectors are a significant source of air pollution released into the atmosphere, which causes toxic heavy metals in the air and soil in the areas surrounding the industries and leads to human health impacts, including cancer risk [ 66 , 67 ]. The transportation industry is the second largest source of GHG emissions, at 27% of all industries [ 68 ]. Increased GHG due to economic growth leads to high energy consumption.…”

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become a hot topic worldwide because they are not only the best alternative for energy storage systems but also have the potential for developing electric vehicles (EVs) that support greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction and pollution prevention in the transport sector. However, the recent increase in EVs has brought about a rise in demand for LIBs, resulting in a substantial number of used LIBs. The end-of-life (EoL) of batteries is related to issues including, for example, direct disposal of toxic pollutants into the air, water, and soil, which threatens organisms in nature and human health. Currently, there is various research on spent LIB recycling and disposal, but there are no international or united standards for LIB waste management. Most countries have used a single or combination methodology of practices; for instance, pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, direct recycling, full or partial combined recycling, and lastly, landfilling for unnecessary waste. However, EoL LIB recycling is not always easy for developing countries due to multiple limitations, which have been problems and challenges from the beginning and may reach into the future. Laos is one such country that might face those challenges and issues in the future due to the increasing trend of EVs. Therefore, this paper intends to provide a future perspective on EoL LIB management from EVs in Laos PDR, and to point out the best approaches for management mechanisms and sustainability without affecting the environment and human health. Significantly, this review compares the current EV LIB management between Laos, neighboring countries, and some developed countries, thereby suggesting appropriate solutions for the future sustainability of spent LIB management in the nation. The Laos government and domestic stakeholders should focus urgently on specific policies and regulations by including the extended producer responsibility (EPR) scheme in enforcement.

“…The basis in the fight for the environment is the gradual reduction of the carbon footprint, which is produced to varying degrees by the various modes of transport. To achieve this purpose, it is necessary to know and thoroughly analyze previous research through a detailed review of the relevant literature [2].…”

Today, the transport of people and goods is an integral part of every country. For passengers and customers, the price and time of transport are dominant. Today, very few passengers and customers look at the ecological side of transport. The ecological side of transport is represented by various parameters and one of them, which is addressed in this article is the carbon footprint. The main task of the presented article is to create a methodology for comparing the carbon footprint on the Žilina -Rajec railway line. It is a non-electrified line of local significance. The comparison consists in the electrification of the line and the subsequent deployment of electrical units. The main task of the presented article is to create a methodology for comparing the carbon footprint on the Žilina -Rajec railway line. It is a non-electrified line of local significance. The comparison consists in the electrification of the line and the subsequent deployment of electrical units. The aim is to determine the advantage of electrification of this line from an ecological point of view based on this parameter. At the same time, it is possible to point out the beneficial effects of the use of rail transport in the long run for the environment.
