Abstract

The complexity of tunnel construction places it in a position of great importance in the overall construction of highways, and the carbon emissions generated during its construction also account for a large portion. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out the need to "actively and steadily promote carbon peaking and carbon neutrality." As one of the main contributors of carbon emissions, the transportation industry needs to actively increase its efforts to reduce emissions, innovate ways to reduce emissions, and not overlook any sources of carbon emissions. This article relies on the Linshuang Expressway project, which combines theoretical calculation logic with information and Internet of Things technology to complete the construction of a real-time monitoring system for carbon emissions during tunnel construction in mountainous areas. Through this system, construction carbon emissions can be visualized and monitored in real-time, providing reliable data support for emission reduction in tunnel construction, and providing technical references for promoting low-carbon, clean, and green highway tunnel construction, in order to further support the development of a strong transportation country.
