Spatiotemporal dynamics and driving mechanisms of carbon emissions from China’s expressway operations
This study presents a nationwide, high-resolution analysis of China's 2024 expressway operational CO₂ emissions, revealing that emissions are heavily concentrated on major trunk corridors and exhibit significant monthly fluctuations driven by congestion-induced speed reductions, thereby highlighting the critical need for fine-scale temporal data to inform effective transport decarbonization strategies.
