Abstract:In the context of "dual carbon", the demand for low-carbon development in transportation construction is increasing, and it is urgent to find a quantitative evaluation method for high-quality development to promote low-carbon development. Relying on the relevant indicator data of transportation construction in Jiangsu Province from 2011 to 2020, and based on a three-stage DEA model, the input-output indicators are determined. From three stages and from the perspective of pure technology and scale comprehensive efficiency, the impact of different carbon emission levels on the high-quality development of transportation construction is explored. The results indicate that the high-quality development of transportation construction in Jiangsu Province can promote the reduction of carbon emissions. With poor performance from 2012 to 2016 and good performance in other years, the overall effect of promoting the improvement of carbon emission efficiency shows a trend of first decreasing and then increasing. The study result can provide a basis for the high-quality and low-carbon integrated development of transportation construction.
