Los métodos gravitacionales como herramienta para el cálculo de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero derivadas del tráfico rodado en la planificación urbana

this paper proposes a methodology for estimating greenhouse gas emissions from road traffic. the method uses information about the cities and their growth estimates in order to model traffic by using a gravity model. these kind of mathematical models allow study the number of trips "originated in" or "destined for" a particular area and distribute them to calculate the greenhouse gases emissions from these trips. in this way the information regarding these emissions can be used in urban planning phase and preventive and compensatory measures can be included in these processes.
