Integration Method for Web based Visualization Framework of Green Highway Index and Carbon Footprint Calculator

Abstract

Global warming and the development of the green economy have imposed more pressure on government economies to de-carbonise their economic initiatives. This, along with the global financial crisis, has prompted a significant rethinking of digital solutions to monitor carbon emissions. Likewise, drawing investors' investment to further development of green highways by digitised tools for infrastructure projects is crucial. However, there is a demand for integration and visualisation of green highways assessment tools, which highlights an important gap in developing data integration and web-based visualisation application. This paper presents a research proposal method to build an integrated web-based dashboard that monitors the green highway rating assessment and the Carbon Footprint. It emphasizes variables of Malaysia Green Highway Index (MyGHI) and Carbon Footprint Calculator (CFC). A framework for integrating and transforming towards visualisation of web-based dashboard is established. The integration of MyGHI-CFC to the digital level and create a web-based dashboard used different methodologies from mixed qualitative and quantitative research. The results of this integration and visualization foresee contribute to an effective example, paving researchers with effective tools and standards that will contribute to the development of the green highway and future sustainability projects.
