Sustainable mobility and transport modeling: the case of the city of Giannitsa

The results of the examination of various indicators such as average speed, delays, travel time, travel distance, energy consumption and pollutants emitted (CO, CO2, NOx, HC, and Pb) through the use of a simulation model are presented and discussed. The case study of the research refer to the city of Giannitsa, Northern Greece, which is representative of medium sized cities, all facing similar environmental and traffic problems. Therefore, the results and the evaluation methodology that was followed in this research are of general interest and applicability, especially in cases where the overall aim of sustainable mobility must be secured.
