Analysis of vehicle carbon emission characteristics on expressways in mountainous plateau areas based on the coupled simulation of CarSim/TruckSim and MOVES.

ABSTRACT: Expressways in mountainous plateau areas exhibit complex driving conditions and harsh climatic characteristics that continuously impact vehicle carbon emissions throughout their entire lifecycle and determine the carbon emission levels of expressways during the operational period. To study the carbon emission characteristics of expressways in the western Sichuan Plateau mountainous area, a coupling simulation analysis method combining CarSim/TruckSim simulation software and the Motor Vehicle Emissions Simulator (MOVES) was employed to analyze the spatial distribution characteristics of vehicle-specific power (VSP). This analysis was based on the alignment data and operational environment of the Wenchuan‒Barkam Expressway in the mountainous area of the western Sichuan Plateau. A conversion
