This research aims to estimate and reduce carbon emissions from use and maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) of roads. An extensive literature review was conducted on related studies. A hybrid LCA approach was proposed to accurately estimate such emissions, which was embedded into a multi-attribute decision making framework to help road agencies select optimal network-level pavement maintenance plans. In addition, driving factors for vehicle-related emissions during 2009-2017 in Australia were investigated to establish emissions reduction strategies. | en_US |
