International and interregional trade and transport are on the rise and hence, there is a clear needfor reliable estimates of transport flows. However, the available databases and estimation methodsare not yet satisfactory for analytical and predictive purposes.In this paper we explore the use...

This study compares the environmental impacts of urban public transport and automobiles (energy use, emissions, noise nuisance, waste materials and use of space). For this purpose two models have been developed FACTS-Urban (Forecasting air pollution by car traffic simulation) and MILOV...
