Optimizing Urban Bus Transit Network Design Can Lead to Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction
The high contribution of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by the transportation sector calls for the development of emission reduction efforts. In this paper, we examine how efficient bus transit networks can contribute to these reduction measures. Utilizing continuum approximation methods and a case study in Barcelona, we show that efforts to decrease the costs of a transit system can lead to GH...
متن کاملEstimating Urban-scale Greenhouse Gas Emissions
A compact commercial Doppler lidar has been deployed in Indianapolis for two years to measure wind profiles and mixing layer properties as part of project to improve greenhouse measurements from large area sources. The lidar uses vertical velocity variance and aerosol structure to measure mixing layer depth. Comparisons with aircraft and the NOAA HRDL lidar generally indicate good performance, ...
متن کاملTo what extent can zero tillage lead to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from temperate soils?
Soil tillage practices have a profound influence on the physical properties of soil and the greenhouse gas (GHG) balance. However there have been very few integrated studies on the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) and soil biophysical and chemical characteristics under different soil management systems. We recorded a significantly higher net global warming...
متن کاملOptimizing Bus Transit Network with Parallel Ant Colony Algorithm
This study develop an optimization model for bus transit network based on road network and zonal OD. The model aims at achieving minimum transfers and maximum passenger flow per unit length with line length and non-linear rate as constraints. The coarse-grain parallel ant colony algorithm (CPACA) is used to solve the problem. To effectively search the global optimal solution, we use a heuristic...
متن کاملGreenhouse gas emissions from flying can offset the gain from reduced driving in dense urban areas
Numerous studies have illustrated how denser urban forms lead to smaller greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from passenger transport. Many of these studies have excluded aviation since the association between urban structure and air travel is not as intuitive as it is the case of ground travel. However, several recent studies have concluded that air travel is a significant contributor to the GHGs f...
