Analysis of Indicator Model in Assessment of Impact of Teleworking on Carbon Emission Reduction Generated by Transportation Activities
This paper analyzes the key indicators in the assessment of the impact of teleworking as a practice of performing regular work from home or from a location close to home, on reducing the number of trips and carbon emissions generated by transportation activities. The models and methodologies described in literature provide a good basis for better and more comprehensive understanding of the positive and negative effects of teleworking and the real opportunities of its wider application; however, a lack of systemic analysis may be noted. The development of a set of indicators for assessing the emission reduction has been induced by the measures of promoting sustainable transport. Due to the complexity of the transport sector, changes in any model indicator have side effects on other indicators (unwanted and multiplier effects), which is the topic of the authors' research work.
