Urban policy interventions to reduce traffic emissions and traffic-related air pollution: Protocol for a systematic evidence map
Introduction: Cities are the world’s engines of economic growth, innovation, and social change, but they are also hot spots for human exposure to air pollution, mainly originating from road traffic. As the urban population continues to grow, a greater quantity of people risk exposure to traffic-rela...

Methods: Articles will be searched for and selected based on a predetermined search strategy and eligibility criteria. A variety of databases will be searched for relevant articles published in English between January 1, 2000 and June 1, 2020 to encompass the interdisciplinary nature of this SEM, and articles will be stored and screened using Rayyan QCRI. Predetermined study characteristics will be extracted and coded from included studies in a Microsoft Excel sheet, which will serve as an open access, interactive database, and two authors will review the coded data for consistency. The database will be queryable, and various interactive charts, graphs, and maps will be created using Tableau Public for data visualization. The results of the evidence mapping will be detailed via narrative summary. Conclusion: This protocol serves to increase transparency of the SEM methods and provides an example for researchers pursuing future SEMs.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412020317815UrbanCityPolicyInterventionEmissionsTraffic-related air pollution |
