Consideration and Discussion on Green Highway Construction in Urban Area

Green Contracting in Highway Construction: State of Practice

Growing public awareness of climate change requires transportation professionals to integrate green concepts into the transportation planning, design, construction, and operation processes. For the past decade, while many studies have been done regarding carbon emission reduction strategies for on-road and off-road operations, very few have dealt with emission reduction issues in highway projec...

Green Performance Contracting Strategy for Highway Construction Projects

With the growing awareness of sustainability and global climate change, state highway agencies are taking essential steps to reduce carbon emissions from highway infrastructure on a life cycle basis. While much is known regarding climate change mitigation and adaption strategies during highway operation, very little is understood about how climate change issues should be integrated into highway...

Extraction of Urban Green Area Based on Object-oriented

At present , with the rapid development of remote sensing technology especially the improvement of remote sensing image processing , many cities of in china and overseas have applied remote sensing to greenland information extraction ,in order to find out green area cover dynamicand optimize the spatial structure of green space.This paper takes high-resolution remote sensing image as the data s...

Industrial waste in highway construction

Traditionally soil, stone aggregates, sand, bitumen, cement etc. are used for road construction. Natural materials being exhaustible in nature, its quantity is declining gradually. Also, cost of extracting good quality of natural material is increasing. Concerned about this, the scientists are looking for alternative materials for highway construction, and industrial waste product is one such c...
