Economic-environmental analysis of traffic-calming devices

Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment, 2015
Abstract A set of indicators are proposed to determine the effect of traffic-calming devices on the environment and economy. They are based on vehicular emissions and energy consumption and are used to evaluate the viability and positioning of traffic-calming devices.
