Highway tunnels are an integral part of China′s
transportation industry. Presently, the existing specifications for single item
are rich, but the overall tunnel evaluation is missing. In this study, the
current situation of global tunnel standards is analyzed and the notion of
green building development is used as a reference to clarify the concept of
green tunnels and their "humanoriented"
connotation. Further, a green highway tunnel evaluation system is constructed
that follows the eight aspects of tunnel design, tunnel construction, fulllife cycle of tunnel operation, safe and durable tunnel structure,
safe and comfortable driving in a tunnel, convenient evacuation from tunnel,
resource conservation and utilization, and ecological environment protection.
Based on the expert investigation results, weight of each level indicator is
calculated using an analytic hierarchy process method, and the highway tunnel
greenness evaluation grading is proposed. This will provide new ideas for
popularizing the green concept, enhance the green consensus of industry
participants, and promote highquality highway tunnels
construction in China.
