Abstract

Nowadays, global warming has caused phenomena such as glacier melting, reduction of the Arctic layer, sea level rise, and changes in rainfall patterns, which have a profound impact on human survival systems. From a global perspective, transportation has become one of the most important and fastest-growing areas for GHG emissions. However, research and exploration on greenhouse gas emission assessment techniques and related policies in this field are relatively limited and still in the initial stage. Most research on carbon emission measurement during the construction period is focused on a certain road, requiring a large number of parameters to be input in order to output carbon emission values. It cannot replace the calculation of carbon emissions from other highway construction. This article proposes the unit quota method for the first time and elaborates on the detailed calculation process. It can estimate a single road, multiple roads, and also estimate the total carbon emissions through the total construction kilometers at the city, provincial, and national levels.
