This paper focuses on the integration of multiple computational tools towards the objective of assessing emission impacts of different routes. Data from real life GPS tracks was integrated with traffic emission modelling for multiple pollutants (NOx, HC, CO and PM10) to investigate different routing strategies. The main conclusion is that different pollutants dictate different best routes. Hence, strategies for assigning relative weights to pollutants are devised in order to be able to select the best environment-friendly route.
