Mitigation of road transport carbon emissions in Argentina
(Inderscience Enterprises, 2014-12)
This study describes a model to calculate energy consumption and CO2 emissions into the atmosphere by the road transport sector in Argentina from 1960 to 2050. The model analyses different mitigation scenarios to determine ...
Road Permeability Index: Evaluating the heterogeneous permeability of roads for wildlife crossing
(2019-04-01)
Roads impede ecological flows through landscapes, mainly by acting as barriers to animal movement, reducing habitat connectivity and increasing animal mortality. Road permeability is not homogeneous, and animals perceive ...
Highway widening and underpass effects on vertebrate road mortality
(2017-11-01)
Road widening (a.k.a. road dualling) and the presence of mitigation structures may have opposing effects on the number of animal-vehicle collisions. Their influence in tropical areas is poorly quantified, and we know little ...
Road-kills of the giant anteater in south-eastern Brazil: 10 years monitoring spatial and temporal determinants
(Csiro Publishing, 2014-01-01)
Context. The giant anteater, Myrmecophaga tridactyla, is a large insectivorous mammal from Cerrado which is classified as vulnerable by the IUCN's red list. In spite of frequent giant anteater casualties, there continues ...
Design of road-side barriers to mitigate air pollution near roads
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2020-12-03)
We quantified the effects of the use of solid barriers on the dispersion of air pollutants emitted from the traffic of vehicles on roads located over flat areas, aiming to identify the geometry that maximizes the mitigation ...
