Panama metro line 1: Analysis of CO 2 emissions from 2015 to 2017. Principles for an eco-transportation city

Abstract

This article presents an analysis of CO 2 emissions in the Panama Metro Line 1 (PML1) performed using the APTA methodology. The first section of this document presents a brief description of the Panama Metro line 1 and its current operational parameters. Moreover, the document presents a practical application of APTA methodology to determine the estimated CO 2 of PML1. Finally, a comparison with previous works of the Panama Railway Engineering Research Group about estimated CO 2 of PML1 for 2015, 2016 and 2017. The paper presents a set of a conclusion and future development lines in the topic covered.
