“…This is an important observation since several documents available in the literature have quantified the environmental impact of asphalt mixes using the computation of greenhouse gas emissions and, particularly, CO 2 emissions (e.g., [34,61]). However, as demonstrated in this work, the Global Warming Potential (GWP) is only one-though the most famous-of the environmental categories to be considered when evaluating the environmental impact of a product.…”

“…Furthermore, these results have regional specificity and are dependent on the adopted methodologies [32]. For example, it is common that only CO 2 emissions are considered as part of the environmental analysis (e.g., [33,34]), even though the best environmental solution does not necessarily correspond to that providing the lowest CO 2 emissions due to the complexity of the environmental problem.…”

Abstract:The objective of this work is to compare the environmental impact of two different hot mix asphalt (HMA) materials used for road construction in Italy. The analyses used a "from cradle to gate" Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) boundary system and the methodology included considerations about raw materials and fuel supply, as well as transport and manufacturing processes. Primary data provided by the producers and secondary data available in the literature were used as part of the analyses. The results suggest that the proposed method offers rigorous criteria for a comprehensive assessment of the environmental impact of HMA materials, which could be used, among others, as an evaluation parameter in public bids.

“…Currently, the internationally recognized carbon emission calculation method is the "National Greenhouse Gas Guideline," which was developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) [17][18][19]. To determine the carbon emissions per unit of diesel consumption in China, parameters such as the energy average calorific value, potential carbon emission factor, and carbon oxidation rate were obtained from the People's Republic of China Initial National Communication on Climate Change [20] and the China Energy Statistical Yearbook 2014 [21].…”

ABSTRACT:In Northern China, heavy trucks are common on highways. Vehicles traveling on longitudinal sections of expressways produce higher carbon emissions. Current carbon emission models include the vehicular operating conditions, but do not reveal the influence of highway alignment conditions, such as the longitudinal gradient and slope length, on emissions. To address this problem, this study attempts to relate the design parameters of longitudinal roadway segments with carbon emissions, as derived from diesel fuel consumption data, using an iterative nonlinear multiple regression method. Diesel fuel consumption data were collected through field tests along two typical overloaded expressways in China's coal-producing regions. The associated carbon emission data were calculated using the method defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Using this data, a carbon emission prediction model was developed that related carbon emissions with roadway segment gradients, segment slope length, and initial vehicle speed. The proposed model was verified using the field test data. A relative error of 4.9% between predicted and observed data suggested high accuracy and applicability for the proposed prediction model.

“…The first step in this model is to transform regional energy consumption to basic carbon emission, and it then obtains the assumed mileage and speed using other data. The last step is to obtain the actual carbon emission through mutual correction (Frey et al, 2008;Trainer, 2010;Peng et al, 2015). Again, however, there are two limitations that have obstructed its development.…”

Abstract. In China's coal producing areas, carbon emission has a significant impact on the environment, so more attention has focused on the development of heavy vehicles and expressway designation. However, no national criterion based on carbon emission for overload expressway designation exists. In this paper, we propose building a connection between longitudinal segment design parameters and carbon emission, using diesel fuel consumption data and a nonlinear iterative regression method. A carbon emission relational model was built, showing the connection between carbon emission and gradient, slope length, and initial speed. The carbon emission database of expressway longitudinal slope was established by existing model. Based on the actual design data, the sensitivity analysis of gradient and slope length in the established model is carried out. As a result, the influence of gradient on the cumulative carbon emissions is obvious and higher sensitivity, reaching 4.550. The carbon emissions will increase significantly after the longitudinal slope is greater than 3%, highway longitudinal slope should be less than 3%, and the road longitudinal slope length should be limited.
