Abstract
The issue of transportation and the environment is paradoxical in nature since transportation conveys substantial socioeconomic benefits, but at the same time transportation is impacting environmental systems. From one side, transportation activities support increasing mobility demands for passengers and freight, while on the other, transport activities are associated with environmental impacts. Further, environmental conditions have an impact on transportation systems in terms of operating conditions and infrastructure requirements such as construction and maintenance (see Transportation and Space for a review of these constraints). The growth of passenger and freight mobility has expanded the role of transportation as a source of emission of pollutants and their multiple impacts on the environment. These impacts fall within three categories: Direct impacts, indirect impacts, Cumulative impacts.
