An Extension Theory Based Evaluation of the Impact of Various Traffic Taxes on Low Carbon Traffic
With the continuous usage of fossil energy, the density of the carbon gas in the atmosphere is increasing and will lead to many undesirable consequences such as air pollution and greenhouse effect. A huge volume of carbon gas is released by the transportation industry and this volume increases rapidly. Nowadays the vehicle population in China grows very fast so that the low carbon traffic becomes a very important direction of the traffic development. Various kinds of traffic taxes make up a major part of the low carbon policy. This paper first establishes the matter-element model. Then the evaluation index system is obtained. At last it uses the extension theory to get how the traffic taxes promote the low carbon traffic with a comprehensive evaluation. Based on the results of the evaluations, it can be better understood how the traffic taxes influence the low carbon traffic.
