Abstract

In the quest to identify mechanisms for mitigating or controlling environmental pollutants, governmental and organizational efforts have focused on seeking alternatives to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. This text emphasizes the burning of fossil fuels by private vehicles as a key issue to rationalize urban transportation systems. Proposed measures encompass both proactive steps to optimize and enhance current infrastructure, as well as restrictive measures aimed at curbing environmentally detrimental practices. Leveraging information and communication technology resources, the envisioned model aims to offer a comprehensive and real-time perspective on urban mobility dynamics in major metropolitan areas. This capability is intended to support decision-making processes geared towards traffic rationalization, particularly through the efficient utilization of existing resources.
