To assure a satisfactory air quality in congested urban areas traffic managers have to consider vehicle emissions among the effects of traffic planning and management. In this paper the general structure of an information system capable to support traffic management with traffic and emissions analysis is presented. The information system is made of two modules: TRANSNET and EMISSION. TRANSNET implements a programming tool for the modelling of traffic flows in the transportation network of a city. EMISSION links the modelling of traffic with the evaluation of vehicle emissions corresponding to vehicle operating conditions determined by traffic. In particular, in this paper the cur
