Abstract:

This paper provides an overview of how environmental benchmarking can be applied to freight transportation. It covers freight carriers (truck, rail, air, marine), shippers and freight facilities (marine ports, air ports).

The focus of the research is on air emissions, but other environmental impacts are also considered.
