This project aims to assess energy consumption and environmental emissions in Central European cities, focusing on urban road systems. It includes evaluations of energy-saving potentials, life cycle analyses, and management policies. Through data analysis and methodology reviews, the project aims to develop accurate inventory models, reduce data uncertainties, and improve environmental standards related to urban roads. The goal is to provide a scientific basis for implementing effective energy conservation and emission reduction measures, supporting optimized road management policies.
