REMEDIO’s Approach in Addressing the Challenges

Soft actions on Low Carbon Mobility Solutions

SUMPs

Horizontal Condominium

Small scale Investments Participatory Governance Local Agreements Protocols MoUs

Integrated Modelling Tool

Energy transport efficiency, Noise impact, Air pollutant emissions & Carbon footprint, Air dispersion, Freight streamlining, Cost & Health effects

Present and Future Scenarios

✓ Customized modelling tool to evaluate at local street level the environmental-related performance

  • f low-carbon mobility actions.

✓ Includes modules for estimation of traffic-related:

  • Pollutant emissions
  • Carbon footprint
  • Atmospheric dispersion
  • Energy consumption
  • Noise
  • Health events and related Costs.

  • Traffic flow characterization
  • vehicle loading

Road data requirements

  • Road Definition
  • number of trams
  • especial lanes
  • gradient
  • curvature
  • Building/spaces

Road Redesign for Improved Urban Mobility

1st Traffic Scenario (SCN10) ✓ 10% Reduction of passenger cars and motorcycles traffic load. 2nd Traffic Scenario (SCN20) ✓ 20% Reduction of passenger cars and motorcycles traffic load and ✓ Increase by 2

  • f

public buses circulation frequency.

Future Traffic Conditions

Environmental Impacts of Traffic Scenarios

✓ Differences (%) in values between the future traffic scenarios (SN10, SCN20) and the current traffic conditions (Base Case). SCN10 Fuel Consumption

  • 18%

SCN20

  • 16%

Traffic Noise SCN10

  • 0.5%

(max -2.8%) SCN20

  • 1%

(max -3.4%) Pollutant Emissions – Carbon Footprint

✓ REMEDIO IMT = Sound, Customizable, Transferable Tool to evaluate the environmental-related performance of low-carbon mobility actions. ✓ Technical Developments can be more useful when Scientific Knowledge is associated with Participatory Governance:

  • Citizens, Users,
  • Experts,
  • Stakeholders,
  • Organizations, Local authorities, Policy Makers.
