On a Method for Computing Emissions in Freight Transportation
摘要
Ecological impact of freight transport is obvious. However, measuring this impact is often limited to assessing CO \(_2\) emissions only. Within this paper, we propose an extension of CO \(_2\) emission computations towards a more general eco-score that incorporates other factors like light, particulate matter, or noise. A general outline is presented which steps need to be taken to get towards this more general assessment method. Two examples for a detailed CO \(_2\) emissions calculation as well as a method for light emissions calculations are presented.
