Leveraging Carbon Footprint Derivatives in Challenging the Effective Implementation of Sustainable Transportation

Carbon footprint detection in transportation sector can be applied through measuring vehicle emissions, analyzing vehicle travel patterns through GPS monitoring, monitoring fuel consumption accurately through a fleet management system. The purpose of this study is to find derivatives of the carbon footprint concept in the transportation sector that have the potential for knowledge development. This study uses mix approaches, including bibliometric analysis to find several new concepts and analytical hierarchy process to follow up on findings that are recommended as new as a step in developing knowledge. Data comes from journal publications in the last five years obtained through searches on Google Scholar based on analysis of scientific literature. The results of study found that several derivatives of the carbon footprint concept in transportation sector which have the potential to be novel in the study include material footprint, urban mobility, energy footprint, energy demand, public transport, green transportation, environmental degradation, environmental impact, carbon capture, carbon neutrality and energy efficiency. Concept derivatives that are a priority and are expected to be developed more widely and have high novelty value include energy efficiency, carbon neutrality and green transportation. This study recommends further development of priority concept derivatives to be studied more significantly in order to accelerate the implementation of low carbon in supporting sustainable transportation.
