Abstract

Ecological impact of freight transport is obvious. However, measuring this impact is often limited to assessing CO2 emissions only. Within this paper, we propose an extension of CO2 emission computations towards a more general eco-score that incorporates other factors like light, particulate matter, or noise. A general outline is presented which steps need to be taken to get towards this more general assessment method. Two examples for a detailed CO2 emissions calculation as well as a method for light emissions calculations are presented.
