Abstract :
This paper describes a WWW-based decision support tool for analyzing the environmental and economic impacts of telework over a set of likely parameters and scenarios, exposing crucial system components and sensitivities. It is expected that the analysis provided by this web tool will enable commuters, employees, company managers, and regulators to gain a better understanding of telework-related environmental impacts
