Abstract

The transport is one of a major source (15%) of greenhouse gases contributors’ and the road transport accounts for 80% of emissions divided equally between urban and interurban. The Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans arise as a shock measure, with the aim of increasing energy efficiency, environmental quality and externalities reduction from the road transport. This chapter proposes a standardized methodology to develop Sustainable Transportation Plan that includes an information system and decision support system (based on indicators) that helps to manages sustainable mobility plans and aid in the evaluation and strategies selections. The system is based on free tools, as geographic information system libraries (GEOEXT), Java programming environment and MySQL database manager in an open distributed system, which are used to support data collection and mobility analysis.
