Research of Carbon Emissions of Highway Operation Period Based on Grey Relational Analysis

Abstract:

The CO2 emissions of highway transportation industry are huge. In order to study factors affecting carbon emissions of highway operation period, selected five primary route design indicators to analyze. The five indicators were Speed, Gradient, Radius of Curvature, IRI, Traffic Volume and Green Belt. Combined the existing Carbon Accounting Model and the Carbon Accounting Software of Highway Operation Period[4], which could calculate the equivalent carbon emissions. By using Gray relational analysis method, calculated the relational degrees between route design indicators and carbon emissions of highway operation period. At last, found that the most important factor affecting carbon emissions of highway operation period was average daily traffic volume. The research will be helpful to discuss the carbon emissions of highway operation period in a targeted manner.
