Quantifying the Impacts of Beijing Subway on Energy Consumption and CO2 Emissions

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper estimates the impacts of Beijing Subway on energy consumption and CO2 emissions. The ASIF methodology is developed to estimate the emissions based upon passenger travel behaviors in Beijing, which is notably different from popular existing approaches that calculate emissions from vehicular population. This methodology enables policy analysts to quantify how different subway development strategies and patterns would affect about CO2 emissions.
