Comprehensive Green Degree Evaluation of Inland Navigation

As a typical low-carbon transportation mode, inland navigation requires less land, produces less pollution, and consumes less energy, but carries more goods. To scientifically evaluate the green performance of inland navigation using the method of LCIA to analyze input and output inventories, the paper constructs a green degree evaluation index system of inland navigation, quantifies the indexes with the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (F-AHP), and uses a linear weighted sum method to calculate the final comprehensive evaluation. The results show that inland navigation has some green properties but cannot meet the requirements of China's low-carbon society. The paper puts forward some advanced measures on basic attributes and environmental attributes.
