- Abstract
- Urban carbon emission has sharply increased owing to the rapid urbanization and motorization. Since transportation is a main source of carbon emission, it is urgent to build a low-carbon transport mode with characteristics of environment-friendly, high efficiency, low energy cost and safety. With the IPCC’s methods and spatial analysis, transportation carbon emission of Pingdi international low-carbon eco-park in Shenzhen was evaluated. Road vectorization was operated on arcgis10.0, while traffic distribution based on the dual-constrained gravity model was operated on transcad. Furthermore, by studying the structure of residents travel and the carbon emission per unit distance of each motor vehicle, the traffic carbon emission of the study area was evaluated. The total co2emission was 127127.57 tons per year. The transportation emission structure shows that private cars, official cars and taxi account for the largest proportion of the emission, each for 42.9%, 18.2% and 16.5%, while the proportions of bus and motorcycles were less than 10%. The spatial distribution shows that the largest intensity appears in roads of heavy traffic, such as Huiyan express and Yanlong Avenue. On the contrary, districts of more slip roads have low carbon emission intensity. influencing factors of transportation carbon emissions, including land use structure, structure of travel, transport vehicle, traffic network and low-carbon consciousness, were deeply analyzed in order to provide some references for developing the transportation mode dominated by public transport and the implementation of energy saving policy.
