Abstract

Abstract: Paper aims: This study aims to accounting for greenhouse gas emissions from traffic rearrangement, using a network vulnerability framework.

Originality: We present a new procedure to verify the effectiveness of accident risk as an attribute to find the most vulnerable links of a road network, estimating the amount emitted in the process.

Research method: Vulnerability is measured by the variation in CO2 equivalent emitted and total distance traveled, after changes in accessibility patterns.

Main findings: To date, limited research exists on accounting for emissions from the perspective of vulnerability. Three scenarios of risk-level and traffic conditions were modeled. Results indicate that high levels of accidents exposure may increase emissions by 5.2% compared to a low-risk scenario, and 9.1% compared to an unabridged network scenario.

Implications for theory and practice: The proposed framework could support governmental policies and urban planning to verify the impact of accessibility patterns in GHG emissions.
