TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Impacts of freeway accidents on CO2 emissions: a case study for Orange County, California, US JO - Transportation research part D: transport and environment A1 - Chung, Younshik A1 - Cho, Hanseon A1 - Choi, Keechoo SP - 120 EP - 126 VL - 24 IS - N2 - Traffic congestion caused by traffic accidents contributes to CO2 emissions. Generally, more efficient and prompt responses to accidents lead to reduced traffic congestion as well as CO2 emissions. Here we assess the CO2 emissions impacts of freeway accidents, applies an existing model to capture spatio-temporally congested regions caused by freeway accidents. A case study for the assessment of CO2 emissions impacts of based on the results from the model is presented.
