The rural road networks were built to connect the rural people to the town area or to other destination required by the local residents. Normally the rural roads will be developed to connect or increase the socio-economic opportunity in rural area. The green road is one of the key areas that can be look into to create the sustainable concept based on three key aspects namely social, environmental and economic factors. The main focus of the economy aspect is to increase the profits using more efficient resources, especially materials, improving the quality of life by meeting the national needs of social aspects and protecting the environment from the effects of CO2 emissions and efficient use of natural resources for environmental aspects. Therefore, it is important that stakeholders include sustainability criteria in their projects. The application of a sustainable concept on the road can be assessed by the green road evaluation tool. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to build tools to evaluate and declare green rural roads in Malaysia. The data for this study were gathered through group discussions with road construction experts and distributed questionnaires to identify sustainability factors. Then the data were analysed by factor analysis method using SPSS software. Based on the result, there are five main sustainable criteria: Sustainable Design and Construction, Social and Safety, Energy Efficiency, Environmental and Water Management and Materials and Technology that are included in the development of the green road qualification system. The analysis indicates that the social and safety become the prime criteria among other criteria.

“…The main criteria will decide the primary construction work for rural road development. The criteria are listed based on Adzar et al [6], Abd Rashid et al [7] and Adzar et al [8].…”

“…The CFC will calculate carbon footprint pollution in the unit of tons of equivalent carbon dioxide (t CO2-eq / km-lane). This instrument will also provide a viewpoint on GHG pollution trends that can be used to develop a better strategy for managing green highways in Malaysia (Adzar, et al, 2019a).…”

Highway concessionaires in Malaysia spend considerable assets in collecting, analysing and controlling different forms of data during highway projects’ life cycle. Considering this massive investment, nowadays the data use and information system reliability is becoming the key concern in terms of delivering value to consumers as opposed to the amount generated. The data generated is extensive and heterogeneous. This paper provides a new paradigm for integrating green highway performance data with carbon footprint data for green highway assessment. This framework is used to improve the active use of data in the generation of information and to assist comprehensively in decision-making at all levels of management. The network approach used in this study is the main component for interlinking data with knowledge and decisions, identifying the parameters of data integration for green highway assessment, determining the criteria data for integration, and assessing the overall performance of data usage. Real-time green highway data scenarios are used to demonstrate the applicability of this framework. A new monitoring performance measure called the MyGHI-Dashboard is proposed to control green highway assessment processes and evaluate the level of data usage, which will serve as a green highway performance scorecard. Through data-driven insights, this new paradigm can be used as a benchmarking model by highway authorities to make efficient and accurate decisions. This study is expected to become the central reference to mitigate the challenge associated with the use of highway performance data in real-time for Malaysian highway development.

Global warming and the development of the green economy have imposed more pressure on government economies to de-carbonise their economic initiatives. This, along with the global financial crisis, has prompted a significant rethinking of digital solutions to monitor carbon emissions. Likewise, drawing investors’ investment to further development of green highways by digitised tools for infrastructure projects is crucial. However, there is a demand for integration and visualisation of green highways assessment tools, which highlights an important gap in developing data integration and web-based visualisation application. This paper presents a research proposal method to build an integrated web-based dashboard that monitors the green highway rating assessment and the Carbon Footprint. It emphasizes variables of Malaysia Green Highway Index (MyGHI) and Carbon Footprint Calculator (CFC). A framework for integrating and transforming towards visualisation of web-based dashboard is established. The integration of MyGHI-CFC to the digital level and create a web-based dashboard used different methodologies from mixed qualitative and quantitative research. The results of this integration and visualization foresee contribute to an effective example, paving researchers with effective tools and standards that will contribute to the development of the green highway and future sustainability projects.
