Abstract

The combination of carbon footprint and urban transportation planning is significantly meaningful to the construction of urban low-carbon transportation. This dissertation studies the emission of carbon dioxide and air pollutant such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon, nitrogen oxide during the process of transportation, and establishes carbon footprint measurement model to calculate the urban transportation planning projects’ emission of carbon dioxide and air pollutant. Then based on the Geographic Information System Developer’s Kit (GISDK) development platform and carbon footprint measurement model, secondary development is made in TransCAD to enable the software to calculate the emission of carbon dioxide and air pollutant. The developed software is used to evaluate the carbon footprint of three different urban transportation planning projects of Eco High Tech Island in Nanjing, China and then the most environmentally friendly is chosen to meet the need of developing a low-carbon city.
