Project results

The impact of the project in quantitative terms, from the technical, economic and social perspectives, is expected to produce:

  • Strict compliance with the maximum levels of pollution required by the EU, whose quantitative targets are included in the new EU Directive;
  •  Meeting the mobility needs of citizens, although in a different way than at present;
  • Reducing management costs for traffic and existing pollution controls by 30%, as part of current fixed stations will become unnecessary and the traffic control system simplified;
  • A better operational efficiency of vehicles in circulation, thereby saving fuel and maintenance, which will be higher than at least 10%, with similar effects on climate change;
  • Recognized benefits associated with improved health, deriving from declining levels of pollution (in 2020 compared to 2000 such effects are estimated at 49% loss of life years for the effects of particulates and 10% in mortality due to ozone, should nothing happens);
  • Recognized benefits associated with conservation of the city architectural heritage, thereby savings in cleaning and maintenance, which will be higher than at least 10%.
