文摘

An integrated life cycle approach is used to study Urban Transport Metabolism (UTM). A selection of different material, energy and environmental assessment methods is synergically applied. The study is based on an accurate inventory of infrastructure, machinery and operative resource costs. Results show that the different methods provide much needed insight into different aspects of UTM. Innovative Bus Rapid Transport shows better resource and environmental performance than Normal Bus Transport system.
