Survey and Analysis to the Energy-Saving & Emission-Reduction Effect of BRT in Jinan

Abstract:

Aiming at the shortcomings of present researches on the energy-saving and emission-reduction effect of BRT, the paper first gets actual operating data of BRT, conventional bus and car of Jinan by survey. Then, based on actual survey data and synthesis emission factor, the paper analyzes the energy-saving and emission-reduction effect of Jinan BRT. The results demonstrate: compared with conventional bus and car, the energy-saving and emission-reduction effect of BRT is very remarkable.
