The invention is a method for determining indicators of pollution from overall mobility of a user, comprising detecting trips in soft modes of transport and trips in motorized vehicles by use of a smart phone; determining a real 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 real speed profile representing the style of driving of the user; 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; and breaking down the environmental footprint for each of the motorized vehicle trips into a footprint linked to the vehicle, and to a style of driving to a type of route and; 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 determining at least one of driving indicators and environmental impact indicators for the user's overall mobility.
