An urban mobility index for evaluating and reducing private motorized trips
Modern cities seek policies to sustain their urban mobility by reducing car externalities. To maintain sustainability, urban designers and planners should consider different social, economic, and environmental indicators. Currently, efforts are being made to evaluate the relationship between urban s...

Modern cities seek policies to sustain their urban mobility by reducing car externalities.
