“…This is a comparatively simple formula and has been used in [28][29][30]. Even though many researchers have calculated the emission factors of CO 2 for a particular city, it cannot be used by researchers conducting research in another location or city [8] since the emissions factor is dependent on vehicle type, passenger load factor and engine size. Furthermore, the number of vehicles on the road during peak hours is different for each study area.…”

“…There are many sources contributing to CO 2 emissions, such as the generation of electricity, commercial and residential buildings, agricultural activities, land use and forestry, industry and transportation [6,7]. Of these sources, the major contributor of CO 2 emissions is urbanization and transportation [8] because transportation is essential for carrying out daily activities, such as commuting to and from work and school or traveling. The United States Environmental Protection Agency [3] stated that, in 2017, the transportation sector contributed the largest percentage of CO 2 emissions (28.9%), followed by electricity (27.5%), industry (22.2%), commercial and residential buildings (11.6%), agriculture (9%) and land use and forestry (0.8%).…”

A Review of the Measurement Method, Analysis and Implementation Policy of Carbon Dioxide Emission from Transportation

This paper presents a review of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from transportation in an attempt to establish a quick and suboptimal update of the methods used to calculate and analyze CO2 emissions from transportation. Transportation is the largest contributor to air pollution through the release of high amounts of CO2 gas into the atmosphere. The methods for calculating and analyzing the carbon footprint of transportation; which is of critical importance in the management of greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming; are still being developed. However; there are some differences in the definitions and methods used to calculate the carbon footprint of transportation in previous studies. This review focuses on the similarities of the methods used to measure CO2 emissions as well as the analyses used to evaluate the emissions. This paper will also highlight the advantages and limitations of each research work. By doing this; the present study contributes to the selection of appropriate methods for calculating CO2 emissions from transportation and draws attention to environmental issues. It is hoped that the implementation of the most appropriate framework will help to reduce CO2 emissions from transportation

“…That approach allows the evaluation of complete urban surroundings and enables a quantitative comparison with other development plans or cities [16]. In addition, one research forecasts the development scale of various buildings in future urban blocks, in order to provide an effective approach to estimate the carbon dioxide generated by the traffic volume [17].…”

The concept of urban growth management first emerged in the United States in the 1950s. Its goal was to solve problems stemming from urban sprawl by applying integrated planning, management, and regulation, and to adjust to different development trends in different spaces and times. From the viewpoint of the studies on the link between sustainably built environments, urban growth management, and their interactions, this special issue includes theoretical and empirical studies on sustainable built environment planning and design, sustainable growth management strategies, and other related emerging topics, such as intelligent use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to sustainably build environments, as well as smart cities research with big data, data mining, cloud computing, and internet of things (IOT) ideas.

“…There are studies using vehicle speed data for the direct estimation for the calculation of air pollutant emissions in the urban area (Zhao et al, 2017;Mitran & Ilie, 2014;Chang & Lin, 2018;Toșa et al, 2015, Jiang et al, 2017Gori et al, 2014;Li et al, 2016). Many different road traffic emission models depending on speed analysis have been developed at different level of aggregation in space and time.…”

In the last years, there was great interest in the development of tools for an effective evaluation of road transport pollutant-related emissions, especially in the urban areas. This paper represents an innovative approach for identifying criticalities about pollutant emissions associated with road traffic and for defining effective policies in order to decrease pollutant emissions. The proposed tool concerns the development of an emission indicator, a proxy measure, which is useful for the assessment of emission problems, based on the use of GPS (Global Positioning System) instantaneous vehicle speed data. The tool can be considered an innovative and adequate solution in many cases in which the development of a valid and robust traffic simulation model, especially DTA (dynamic traffic assignment) is not available in the medium- and short-term horizon. The methodological process concerns the monitoring of road traffic conditions using GPS data from probe vehicles in combination with the use of GIS (Geographic Information System) for the estimation of an emission indicator. The tool has been tested on a real case study in the city of Cluj in Romania for the NOx emissions. The results show the utility of the tool in supporting policy and decision making, due to its ease of application and consistency, especially in defining critical areas.
