Environmental efficiency analysis of U.S. passenger transportation modes: A synergistic use of hybrid LCA and mathematical optimization
The aim of this study is to analyze the environmental performance of 15 passenger transportation modes using a combined application of data envelopment analysis (DEA) and hybrid life cycle assessment (LCA). The proposed approach can offer vital guidance for decision makers regarding the relative env...

Summary: | The aim of this study is to analyze the environmental performance of 15 passenger transportation modes using a combined application of data envelopment analysis (DEA) and hybrid life cycle assessment (LCA). The proposed approach can offer vital guidance for decision makers regarding the relative environmental efficiency of transportation modes, and enhance the interpretation of LCA results. |
