Land transportation refers to the movement of people and goods on land using vehicles such as automobiles, trucks, and buses. It is a significant source of CO2 emissions globally, contributing around 23% of total emissions in 2009. AI generated definition based on: Climate Vulnerability, 2013. About this page.
The transportation we focus on is primarily the type of land transport, which in turn, informs land use. Evidence shows that global land use change contributes to 25% of total carbon emissions ( Roe et al., 2019 ), with much built-up land supporting transportation infrastructure construction, such as railways, highways, and expressways.
Land transportation. Initial temperature, position of the pallets inside the truck, airflow pattern inside the truck, and load pattern of pallets used in truck containers. Air transportation. Weather condition, geographical location, flight delays, and the adequacy of cooling and handling facilities and equipment.
The development of land transportation has effectively contributed to countries’ economic and social development. Roads, rails and vehicles have come into widespread use in transporting things from one location to another on land. However, much energy is dissipated in traditional land transportation, and this energy is worthy of being recovered.
The journal invites submissions of research papers on all modes of transportation, including maritime and air transportation as well as land transportation, and considers their impacts on the environment in the broad sense. Papers dealing with both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered.
From Table 5, it can be found that the average land transportation efficiency of Eastern China (E 0 = 0.663) in 2009–2012 is higher than those of other areas, and that of Western China (E 0 = 0.393) is the worst. That is, the east of China does the best in the land transportation sector considering the resource and environmental factors.
This study examines carbon emissions from European land transportation, considering spatial autocorrelation patterns. Using global and local Moran's I indices, we find evidence of positive spatial autocorrelation in the panel data of 26 European countries from 1995 to 2019. To adequately analyze the factors influencing transport emissions, we ...
Transportation should be given priority to achieve sustainability goals in urban areas; the latter can be achieved by managing the diverse aspects of travel demand (public transportation), vehicle growth patterns, and efficient land-use patterns (Sangaradasse and Eswari, 2019).
Integrated land use transport models (ILUTMs) explicitly consider the interactions among socioeconomic activities, land use, transportation and other components as needed, such as social/natural environment, for policy analysis and for guiding the progressive urbanization process, as shown in Fig. 1.

In 2100 road transport's emissions are expected to contribute another 0.30 °C–0.23 °C (scenarios A1B or B1), and 0.15 °C or 0.20 °C (scenarios A2 or B2) respectively to global mean temperature. Hence, also for temperature change, the current emissions from transport have the highest impact on the future climate.
