Abstract: Abstract In addition to cost and time, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have become a further command variable for planning processes in the transportation industry. A large number of scientific literature is devoted to the development of planning approaches taking into account the emissions of transport processes. In order to minimize a transport process’ emissions, many factors affecting emissions have been studied. Besides the total distance covered by a transport process, the modal split, payload, traveling speed as well as vehicle type and specifications are identified as most influential planning parameters.
