Method for determining indicators regarding the polluting nature of mobility taking real usage into account

A method for determining indicators regarding a nature of pollution of overall mobility of a user, comprising:

• a. detecting trips in soft modes of transport and trips in a motorized vehicle by use of a smart phone to measure at least one of position, altitude and speed of the user;
• b. determining an environmental footprint linked to pollution emissions for each trip in a motorized vehicle by use of a model which estimates pollution emissions by accounting for macroscopic characteristics of the vehicle and a speed profile representing a style of driving of the user;
• c. determining a target environmental footprint from each of the motorized vehicle trips by accounting for a target speed profile representing an optimal style of driving in the model for estimating pollution emissions;
• d. breaking down the environmental footprint for each of the motorized vehicle trips into a footprint linked to the motorized vehicle, a footprint linked to style of driving and a footprint linked to a type of route;
• e. determining an overall environmental footprint for the mobility of the user by accounting for all trips in soft modes of transport and trips in motorized vehicles over a given time interval;
• and
• f. determining at least one of eco-driving indicators and environmental impact indicators for the user's overall mobility.
