Regional Freight Movement and Its Impact on Air Quality::Simulation of Freight Traffic and Pavement Maintenance Operations
Freight movement emits greenhouse gases (GHGs) and deteriorates pavement - thereby causing additional emissions from pavement maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) treatments. This study predicts the carbon dioxide equivalent GHGs (CO2eGHGs) emission from simulated freight movement and pavement M...
