Popis: Since road traffic in Europe is forecast to increase in the future, articulated strategies are needed in order to keep transportation sector growth within the bounds imposed by a sustainable development. Scientific research is contributing to pursue this aim through a large number of projects dealing with transportation-environment interactions. This paper reviews international research activities in this field, focusing particularly on technological innovations, air and noise pollution prediction models as well as on existing tools for socio-economic evaluation of traffic impacts on the environment. In particular, research projects of the Second Special Project on Transportation (PFT2) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR) are outlined. The aim of this paper is to underline the most relevant research topics on which it is necessary to concentrate the efforts if it is expected the community welfare to be achieved.
