Abstract: | Truck emissions at a port may have a severe impact on neighbors, resulting in a politically sensitive sustainability issue for the port management. Strict emissions controls may adversely affect throughput whereas the lack of strict controls will be unacceptable to local citizens and environmental interests. We develop an economic model minimizing cost of truck emissions control and collateral production changes and apply it to decision making for a port seeking to meet a throughput goal while also attempting to satisfy an emissions constraint. Outcomes predicted by the model allow informed decisions about the impact of controls. |
