Abstract:
To promote the development of green and low-carbon expressway construction, an evaluation index system and associated evaluation method for the construction of green and low-carbon expressways suitable for multiple bridges and tunnels is proposed. The evaluation index system was created from three layers: the goal layer, the criterion layer, and the indicator layer. The criterion layer includes 4 first-level indices and the indicator layer includes 18 second-level indices. The weight of each index in the criterion layer and indicator layer is determined using the improved analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method, and green and low-carbon expressway construction is then graded using the gray fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method combined quantitative indices with qualitative indices. The method with the selected indices is then verified in a case study on the Huangling-Yan'an Expressway, with the evaluation grade being "Excellent" and the evaluation value being 9.1255. The proposed evaluation method can provide theoretical and practical guidance for effective evaluation for green and low-carbon expressway construction.
