The project was seen as a demonstrative and preventive project which initially involved know-how transference from an Italian Partner to an Objective 1 zone (Portugal). The main objective of the project was to study the effects on the urban environment of different local traffic management schemes and to evaluate their impact in terms of atmospheric and noise pollution. In this way, the project aimed to encourage the implementation of new transport policies, particularly those which prioritized the creation of new urban public transport circuits. To achieve these objectives, the project initially envisaged three main stages: firstly through an initial study and evaluation of the current state of play in traffic policies and their repercussions on the environment in the different city contexts. Secondly, the project would focus on the development of computer-based management support and information systems, including the planning and implementation of a New Transport and Parking Integrated System to optimize existing systems and the development of a computer simulation program. They also aimed to investigate current usage and possible implementation of both conventional and telematic Ecotax models (TAVAU and SPTEV), although these actions were not finally implemented. In the final phase the project would study and carry out information and awareness campaigns aimed at providing incentives for the general public to use public transport and to disseminate the results of the project.
