Modelling transport emission of an out of town centre to achieve emission reduction targets (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Malik, F. A., Bell, M., Dala, L., & Busawon, K. (2021, March). Modelling transport emission of an out of town centre to achieve emission reduction targets. Presented at 2021 6th International Symposium on Environment-Friendly Energies and Applications (EFEA), Sofia, Bulgaria

Transportation negatively affects the environment due to a high carbon footprint associated with travel. In this paper, we estimate the commuter travel emissions of an out-of-town centre and evaluate the modelled emission against the targets set out...
