Creating Green Roadways: Integrating Cultural, Natural, and Visual Resources into Transportation

Product Information

VISSIM and the surrogate safety assessment model (SSAM) were used to simulate the operational and safety performance of CFI. This welcome introduction to the topic of 'greening' roadways promotes humanizing and beautifying roads and streets while reducing their environmental impacts using collaborative, interdisciplinary methods. One of the big problems is that demands upon our nation's highways have increased significantly over the years.

In response to the United Nations’ sustainable development goals, local road agencies in Taiwan urgently need to establish systematic and quantifiable sustainable roadway strategies. The purpose of this study is to further improve the road performance and emission reduction effect of tourmaline-modified asphalt. The Antique Automobile Club of America also notes that there were only ten miles of paved roads in the United States in 1900. In the best case, compared with the conventional intersection, the number of vehicles increases by 13%, delay, travel time, number of stops, CO emission, and fuel consumption decrease by 41%, 29%, 25%, 17%, and 17%, respectively.Chapter 2 examines existing transportation policies and the impact they have upon how stakeholders make decisions. As a general rule, when transportation is efficient, the potential market for a given product or service increases, and this leads to a stronger economy. A company can verify the effectiveness of initiatives by examining the values of their corresponding indicators before implementing environmental initiatives. The top-down approach included the comprehensive literature review and panel discussion to derive four TLIs and 21 corresponding requirements, and nine potential barriers to hold the indicator adoption.

The multi-attribute decision-making method (MADM) based on an entropy method was adopted to determine the suitability of the CFI schemes under different traffic demand patterns. Population growth has created capacity demands that our existing transportation infrastructure has not been able to meet. So far, the design manuals and guidelines for CFI are not enough sufficient, especially for the displaced left-turn lane length of CFI.The compaction characteristics, CBR, and resilient modulus of the laboratory-prepared soil–rock mixtures by the static pressure compaction method (SPCM) and vibration compaction method are compared. As part of the project to develop a green urban road rating system in Taiwan, this study aims to develop transportation livability-related indicators (TLIs) and identify critical barriers to TLI application in Taiwan’s urban road system. For the last seventy years or so, it seems we have adopted the philosophy that the more roads we have, the better. The environmental analysis results show that volatile alkanes (C9–C16) are the major organic contaminants in TPWW.
