Quantifying Benefits of Roadside Vegetation
| 项目名称： | Quantifying Benefits of Roadside Vegetation |
| 摘要： | The research team will develop a roadside vegetation evaluation toolkit for the sustainability, use, community, cost-effectiveness, and safety (RVET-SUCCES). The research team will coordinate with Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) districts to analyze a total of 6 pilot studies in 1 urban and 1 rural sites in 3 different ecoregions. The research team will particularly perform and combine real-world measurements of air quality, thermal environment, visibility, and safety in the pilot studies using sensors and drone in the analysis. For the evaluation of pre- and post-impacts of roadside vegetation, the research team will employ five evaluation modules: environmental sustainability, visibility and safety, operations and maintenance, aesthetics, and life cycle costs. The project will provide the roadside vegetation evaluation toolkit consisting of (1) web-based and spreadsheet-based worksheets and (2) a user guidebook describing the best practices for the evaluation and comparison, the evaluation procedures, a summary of the pilot studies as a sample and/or best practices, and fact sheets, to promote knowledge and skills for sustainable and cost-effective roadside vegetation. |
