Life cycle assessment of winter road maintenance
Vignisdottir, Hrefna Run; Ebrahimi, Babak; Booto, Gaylord Kabongo; O'Born, Reyn Joseph; Brattebø, Helge; Wallbaum, Holger; Bohne, Rolf André (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Purpose Winter road maintenance in the Nordic climate is demanding due to challenging weather conditions, high precipitation, and icy conditions. As a leading country in the transition to low-emission transport, Norway ... -
Optimizing Road Gradients Regarding Earthwork Cost, Fuel Cost, and Tank-to-Wheel Emissions
Booto, Gaylord Kabongo; Vignisdottir, Hrefna Run; Marinelli, Giuseppe; Brattebø, Helge; Bohne, Rolf André (Journal article, 2020)Emissions reduction has emerged as one of the principal targets in the planning and designing of road alignment today, and intelligent design methods can help optimize road alignment as a response toward more sustainable ... -
Reducing fuel consumption and emissions through optimization of the vertical alignment of a road: A case study of a heavy-duty truck on the Norwegian Highway Route E39
Booto, Gaylord Kabongo; Marinelli, Giuseppe; Brattebø, Helge; Bohne, Rolf André (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)In this paper, a method to assess, optimize and modify the vertical alignment of a road is developed. The aim is to optimize the alignment with respect to fuel consumption and quantify the induced reduction in terms of ... -
Regionalized environmental impacts of construction machinery
Ebrahimi, Babak; Wallbaum, Holger; Jakobsen, Pål Drevland; Booto, Gaylord Kabongo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)PURPOSE: This study aims to establish a regionalized environmental impact assessment of construction machinery equipped with diesel engines certified by the European emission standard Stage V, and operated in cold climatic ... -
A review of environmental impacts of winter road maintenance
Vignisdottir, Hrefna Run; Ebrahimi, Babak; Booto, Gaylord Kabongo; O'Born, Reyn Joseph; Brattebø, Helge; Wallbaum, Holger; Bohne, Rolf André (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The need for winter road maintenance (WRM) is changing in cold regions due to climate change. How the different modes of WRM will contribute to future overall emissions from infrastructure is therefore of great interest ... -
Road Planning and Route Alignment Selection Criteria in the Norwegian Context
Booto, Gaylord Kabongo; O'Born, Reyn Joseph; Ebrahimi, Babak; Vignisdottir, Hrefna Run; Brattebø, Helge; Pitera, Kelly; Wallbaum, Holger; Bohne, Rolf André (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This paper reveals the main factors that guide road alignment design process in Norway. The goal is to discover what constitutes the main priorities for road planners, how these priorities are ranked when it comes to ... -
Using life cycle thinking approach to support environmental sustainability in big linear infrastructure projects: Alignment modelling, optimization and evaluation for reducing impacts to the natural environment
Booto, Gaylord Kabongo (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:37, Doctoral thesis, 2021)This thesis focuses on environmental optimization of the vertical alignment in large linear infrastructure projects, at early design stage. Two categories of problems are investigated: “modification of the existing alignment” ...
