Dimensiones relevantes para la evaluación ambiental proactiva de la movilidad urbana

Another highlighted aspect during the application of the 'ETV-Model' was the fact that the evaluation had a central role not only during the selection of alternatives, but also to modify the alternative selected in the last phase of the evaluation process. Since the earliest, the outcomes of the model reflected in general that Alternative S.1 had less environmental negative impact than Alternative S.0, although this statement was dependent on the 'mobility environment' considered. During the application of the ETV-model the outcomes were related to dynamics characteristics of urban transportation, covering different temporal periods and including the interaction between EA-makers and transport planners in different workshops/meetings. After analysing the two possible alternatives the decision module of ETV-model through the indicators 'Absorption capacity' and 'Improvement capacity' assessed possible changes to optimize the alternative selected (alternative S.1). The outcomes obtained oriented transport planners to modify the alternative with respect to the number of lines of public transport in the case of 'motorized traffic environment' and 'local and circulation environment', as well as, the walkable areas in the case of 'Local oriented environment'.
