Development of an artificial intelligence integrated full life cycle assessment tool for road infrastructure in Finland – AI-FINROADS
The Finnish Research Impact Foundation
Aalto University
What is the environmental impact of road transport? Aalto University and Ramboll have joined forces in a bid to find answers. Their joint project will develop a life cycle analysis (LCA) framework for Finnish road conditions using artificial intelligence. This framework will, for example, help reduce waste from road construction and help design road systems with lower emissions. The LCA framework will incorporate a range of climatic factors unique to Finland, which are often not considered in typical LCA studies. The knowledge created in this project can be used to inform decision-making and the development of a sustainable road infrastructure. Industry representatives will gain access to a practical application that can deliver accurate environmental impact assessments in various project contexts. The results will be shared openly thereby contributing to the development of more sustainable road infrastructure globally and especially in the Nordics.
