ACV CON ANÁLISIS DE INCERTIDUMBRE: REVISÓN DE LA LITERATURA Y POTENCIAL EMPLEO EN LAS CARRETERAS FEDERALES DE BRASIL

The article offers a systematic review of the literature, highlighting recent advances in the use of Life Cycle Assessment Methodology (LCA) in highway projects, combining it with uncertainty analysis techniques. Considering the significant investments planned for the Brazilian federal road network in the coming years, it is essential that project solutions be developed with a view to mitigating their environmental impacts. However, Brazil faces challenges related to the availability and quality of environmental data on the main road inputs, in addition to the lack of use of the ACV methodology as a management tool for federal highways. The methodology used prioritized the search for scientific articles on the Web of Science database in the period between 2010 and 2023. The results highlight the main deficiencies and advances observed in the research and indicate alternatives for the development of a case study aiming to better investigate the feasibility of jointly using the LCA methodology with uncertainty analysis techniques in the national context.
