A social and spatial analysis of emissions from private vehicle use in Great Britain (2016)
Journal Article

This paper will describe a new approach to source apportionment of transport emissions that moves away from traditional approaches which have allocated emissions to point of use, or by journey purpose. Instead, emissions will be attributed spatially... Read More about A social and spatial analysis of emissions from private vehicle use in Great Britain.
