Road transportation has a crucial impact to the daily functioning of society, however, its environmental burden remains a challenge. This thesis aims to study and evaluate selected Sustainable Urban Moblity Strategies, in order to mitigate the environmental impacts of urban mobility, using tye microscopic simulation SUMO. Withon this context, a baseline scenario was developed, approximating the current conditions, so that alternative scenarios can be compared. The first scenario involves the universal reduction of the speed limit to 30 km/h, the second the adoption of eco-driving practises, while the third and fourth scenarios refer to gradual changes in the vehicle fleet, according to the National Energy and Climate Plan, with target years 2035 and 2050, respectively. The results showed that all scenarios lead to an overall reduction in air pollution emissions, achieving the main objective of the study. Overall, applying these measures in combination is essential for the transition to a sustainable transport system, while the implementation of traffic simulation is fundamental to support targeted decisions in trasport planning and environmental policy.
