How the inclusion of life cycle impacts affects transport cost-benefit analysis
European Journal of Transport and Infrastructure Research, 2018 Transport cost-benefit analysis frameworks do not consider the environmental impacts deriving from the life cycle of the transport system’s components. This leads to an inaccurate representation of the environmental impacts of transport projects, which ...
