This study develops a framework for regional transport network and emission modelling for
the port city of Halifax, Canada. The proposed modelling framework generates, distributes …

Public transport buses are heavy-duty vehicles that travel through the city from morning till
night, which emits a large number of greenhouse gases. Understanding and estimating the …

Personal vehicles play a significant role in contributing to the issue of global warming.
Gasoline used in cars emits an estimated 24 pounds of carbon dioxide and other …

To quantify CO 2 emissions from road transport, literature suggests the adoption of several
alternative methods, based on transport modelling and carbon modules. Some of these …

Global warming is becoming a major concern for almost all countries nowadays. Burning
fossil fuels, most of which by vehicles is the main cause of increasing toxic CO 2 in the air we …

Alleviating highway congestion and environmental impacts associated with vehicle travel is
one of strategies to address issues related to transportation greenhouse gases and urban …

Vehicle emission analysis currently faces a trade-off between easy-to-use, low-accuracy
macroscopic models, and computationally intensive, high-accuracy microscopic models. In …

Accurate road-traffic emission inventories are of great interest to metropolitan planning
agencies especially in the appraisal of regional transport policies. Integrated road transport …

This thesis proposes a traffic optimization system which reduces the amount of greenhouse
gas emissions. Decisions made by the system are based on the current traffic situation in the …

The purpose of the paper is to outline a rigorous, spatially consistent and cost-effective
transport planning tool that projects travel demand, energy and emissions for all modes …
