Variways, eco-comparator for road variants
Variways is a design and decision-making tool that helps clients choose between different road and motorway variants for a given project. It aims to propose a design approach that minimizes greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption generated by traffic using the road. More than just a tool for comparing conventional costs, Variways offers a sustainable development ranking of variants for all vehicle types using the infrastructure.
