Copy of Sustainable Tranportation: Addressing Environmental Concerns

Environmental constraint is a valid means to explicitly reflect various environmental protection requirements imposed by the government. In this paper, the authors examine the environmentally constrained traffic equilibrium problem (EC-TEP), which is a fundamental tool for modeling and evaluating environmental protection requirements.

Under the increasingly severe challenge of climate change and resource shortages, green transportation is gaining popularity in China as an important element of low-carbon, eco-city construction. This paper reviewed the policies and practices of green transportation development in recent years. (2014)

The authors' analysis of focus groups conducted in Chittenden County, Vermont suggests an understanding of vehicle emissions and their effect on human health and the environment is not a good predictor of individual behavior that might reduce emissions output. (2015)

The economic value of runoff prevention, carbon sequestration, pollination and other insect services, air quality, invasive species resistance, and aesthetics was estimated for Florida’s State Highway System roadside right-of-way (ROW) ecosystem using the benefits transfer method. (2014)

To quantify the economic impact of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is considered one of the most important challenges in transport engineering towards the goal of sustainability. Current values, which are mostly provided by the use of Impact Assessment Models, can vary up to six orders of magnitude (from $-10.00/tC to $7,243.73/tC). (2015)

This article presents, based on a survey of experts, a set of lessons learned and best practices related to integrating environmental outcomes in transport public–private partnerships (PPP). (2014)
