Transportation synthetic sustainability indices: A case of Taiwan intercity railway transport

Sustainable Transport faces two challenges: the first is to understand and define Sustainability Indicators (Indices) (SI); the second is to quantify and operationalize. The objective of the study was to examine the impacts of intercity railways passenger transportation service in Taiwan. By applyin...
