Development of Framework for Rating System For Indian Green Highways
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Sustainability has been broadly used in the infrastructure trade in recent years. Green highway requires a stability performance between environmental, economical and social. Green highway required a rating system to evaluate criteria for design, construction, and maintenance. It must be applying to all road projects including new, reconstructed and rehabilitated roads. Its awards credits for sustainable selection and practices and might be used to assess road project sustainability. The rating system will be used to compare different road projects for their overall performance toward being additional sustainable than an average road project. The objective of this research is to develop a framework for the green highway rating system. A rating system framework was established by the literature review of existing green highway rating systems i.e. GreenGuide of roads, I-LAST, INVEST, Envision, Green Guide for Roads, GreenLITES, GreenPave, and BESTin-Highways, CEEQUAL, and STARS. And with help of Indian green building rating system LEED India, IGBC and GRIHA because so far rating system for highway has not been implemented. After completing a literature review, we identify the major categories and their corresponding items most suitable for assessing the “greenness” of a highway project. The six major categories identified are: site selection and planning, energy conservation, water conservation material and resources, environment quality and innovation in design. the questionnaire method is then employed to determine the weighting of the categories as well as the sub categories in each category
