ForewordThis paper has been produced as part of the activities of the TRKC (Transport ResearchKnowledge Centre) project of the Sixth Framework Programme, priority thematic area“Sustainable Development, Global Change and Ecosystems”.The aim of TRKC (as with its predecessor project EXTR@Web) is to collect, structure,analyse and disseminate transport research results. It covers EU-supported research aswell as research financed nationally in the European Research Area (ERA) and selectedglobal RTD programmes. The main dissemination tool used by TRKC is the web portal atwww.transport-research.info.The approach to dissemination of results of research projects adopted by the TRKC teamincludes the following three levels of analysis:• Project Analysis, which provides, project by project, information on researchbackground, objectives, results, technical and policy implications;• Thematic Analysis, which pools findings of research projects according to aclassification scheme based on thirty themes, fixed for the life time of the TRKCproject; the product of this analysis activity is the set of Thematic ResearchSummaries (TRS); the present document belongs to this set;• Policy Analysis, which pools findings of research projects according to combinations ofthemes based on ad-hoc policy priorities which are agreed with DGTREN of theEuropean Commission and a representative group of research users.This particular Thematic Research Summary deals with the environmental aspects oftransport and sustainable mobility. The aim is to provide the reader with a synthesis ofresults of completed European projects related to the theme of environmental aspects. Thepaper is intended for policy makers at the European, national and local levels, as well asany interested reader from other stakeholders and from the academic and researchcommunities.DisclaimerThe TRKC team is fully responsible for the content of this paper. The content of this paperdoes not represent the official viewpoint of the European Commission and has not beenapproved by the coordinators of the research projects reviewed.Thematic Research Summary: “Environmental Aspects of Sustainable Mobility” Page: 7 of 48Transport Research Knowledge Centre
