摘要

公路货运系统是复杂的，有许多系统依赖关系。这些依赖关系意味着单个参与者通常无法单独采取激进的脱碳行动，并且需要系统级决策。决策依赖意味着需要指定关键决策和决策顺序的决策路径。由行业行为者、决策者和专家组成的混合小组举办了五次决策途径讲习班。确定了脱碳障碍、促成因素和决策，并指定了它们之间的依赖关系。使用一种新的软件工具“路径绘图仪”来促进路径定义和分析，并使用NVivo对研讨会评论进行定性分析。研究发现，混合参与者组可以定义决策路径，并且确定了实现该方法的需求。虽然技术经济因素仍然很重要，但发现大多数障碍、推动因素和所需决策是社会技术、政治或与决策治理有关的。这加强了对这些尚未充分研究的过渡方面进行更多研究的必要性。

Decision pathways for road freight decarbonization

The road freight system is complex, with many system dependencies. These dependencies mean that individual actors are often unable to take radical decarbonization action alone, and system-level decisions are required. Decision dependencies mean decision pathways are needed specifying key decisions and decision sequencing.

Five decision pathway workshops were held with mixed groups of industry actors, policymakers and experts. Decarbonization barriers, enablers and decisions were identified and dependencies between these specified. A new software tool “Pathplotter” was used to facilitate pathway definition and analysis, and workshop commentary was qualitatively analyzed using NVivo.

It was found that it is possible for mixed actor groups to define decision pathways, and requirements to operationalize this approach are identified. While techno-economic factors remain important, most barriers, enablers and required decisions are found to be socio-technical, political or related to decision governance. This reinforces the need for more research into these understudied transition aspects.

期刊介绍： Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution. We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
