Retrospect and Prospect of China's Low Carbon Road Research

Abstract

Large amount of carbon has emitted from the transport, and which growing faster. This paper summarized the theoretical system, technology, product, methods and demonstration projects of low carbon transport. The deficiencies of current research were pointed out, such as researches on low carbon transport network and low carbon transportation system are less involved; low-carbon technology of transport is also imperfect, and some low carbon indicators still remain in the defined stages. At last, the evaluation methods of low-carbon indicators, building methods of low-carbon indicator system and evaluation methods were prospected. The paper also put forward that researches about the concept of low-carbon road, screening and construction method of low-carbon index system, application feedback and model validation should be deepened in future.
