Estimation of environmental impacts of roads through life cycle assessment: A critical review and future directions

Motivated by the lack of a systematic analysis of the use of life cycle assessment (LCA) to estimate the environmental impacts of roads, this study conducts a critical review to examine the methods, common practices, limitations, and underlying reasons, so that future directions can be recommended....
