Environmental impacts of promoting new public transport systems in urban mobility: A case study 2017 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Urban mobility is highly dependent on private vehicles causing pollution, traffic congestion and traffic accidents. The tram has become one of the most relevant public transport modes in those cities which need to reduce the private vehicle dependency. However, the implementation of this kind of infrastructure must be done carefully to avoid unsuccessful route designs which make the system unfeasible to operate. With the aim of analysing the impact that a tram can cause in a city, an original methodology has been developed, which takes into account the effect of the new transport system implementation on three subimpacts: traffic, public bus and outskirts neighbourhoods. This methodology uses different data sources from urban traffic, environmental and energy systems. The methodology has been applied to the city of Zaragoza (Spain) with a current population of around 700, 000 inhabitants. The main results found were that tram line 1 saves 6% of the annual final energy consumption of urban mobility, urban traffic has decreased by 7.7% in the city as a whole and by 39.7% for streets close to the tramway. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 0.321 2017 Energy Engineering and Power Technology 2017 Q3 Water Science and Technology 2017 Q3 Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment 2017 Q3 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2017 Q3 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion (orcid)0000-0003-3330-1793 Valero, A.
