Abstract


LCA-based studies for transport infrastructure are gaining momentum, and
this paper presents a brief overview of recent and ongoing work in Norway
and Sweden with regard to status of framework, guidelines and tools. Both
countries are still in an early phase of implementing this work into decision
making processes, but the approaches in both countries are similar and
recommend generic data for early screening of concepts and alternatives,
while the more detailed planning stages call for common guidelines rather
than common data.

Keywords
