Knowledge map of climate change and transportation: a bibliometric analysis based on citespace

Abstract: Climate change has become one of the leading problems around the world. The transport sector is one of the major contributors to climate change. At the same time, climate change is also affecting transportation facilities and travel behaviour. This study proposed a bibliometric approach to...
