An intelligent life-cycle carbon emission measurement system for highway pavement construction

Abstract

Highway construction activities lead to higher carbon emissions and cause climate warming. Therefore, highway construction projects are the key emission reduction in China according to the "double carbon" target. This paper adopts the "bottom-up" measurement method and divides the project into item project, division project and unit project for carbon emission measurement and analysis. A carbon emission database based on MySQL is built to integrate the project quantity quota and carbon emission factors of highway projects. A carbon emission measurement system is developed by MATLAB to intelligently realize the carbon emission measurement and analysis of highway projects. The case analysis shows that the carbon emission measurement system proposed in this paper can better reflect the carbon emission data during the construction period and provide data support for energy saving and emission reduction.
