ABSTRACT

This paper analyzes the key indicators of the impact assessment the teleworking as practice of performing regular work from home or from a location close to home, on reducing the number of travel and reduced carbon emissions transportation activities. Models and methodologies described in the literature are a good basis for a better and more comprehensive and understanding of the positives and negative effects teleworking and real opportunities of its wider application, however there is a lack of systemic analysis. Development of a set of indicators for assessing emission reduction induced by the measures to promote sustainable transport. Due to the complexity of the transport sector, a change in any indicator models have side effects on other indicators (unwanted and multiplier effects) and what is the theme of our research work.

KEYWORDS

Teleworking, ICT-EM, GHG, ASIF, BAU.
