A model for relationship between characteristics and challenges in implementing green highway / Fatin Najwa Mohd Nusa

Green highway is different from conventional highway due to the differences of its concept, fundamental, characteristics, and technologies. Stakeholders in highway projects have to overcome various challenges towards the successful implementation of green highway. Although Malaysian Highway Authorit...
