Abstract
An integrated assessment approach is presented to evaluate the impact of abatement strategies and mobility scenarios on transport emissions and urban air quality. The system consists of a set of flexible models that can be connected in a modular way within the framework of the impact pathway methodology. The MIMOSA model is used to evaluate road transport emissions. The AURORA model is used for urban air quality assessment and management. The evaluation of health impacts and environmental damage costs is carried out by applying the ExternE methodology.
