Book excerpt: The European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) organised a two day 'Road-transport and Emissions Modelling' (REM) Workshop, under the umbrella of the Enlargement and Integration Action 2015. The workshop was hosted by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the University "Ss. Cyril and Methodius" in Skopje, on 10th and 11th of September 2015. Traffic models and emission models are strongly interrelated. There cannot be emissions if there is no traffic, movement of people and goods - and transport mobility increases every year. But increased transport means increased emissions, and consequently increased pollution which is the main reason for climate change worldwide. It has been one of the main objectives of the REM 2015 Workshop, to provide the basics of transport and emission modelling and to promote their proper integration because scientists in the two disciplines hardly communicate in an effective way.

Download or read book Monitoring and Modelling Emissions of Uk Road Transport written by Lester Kwiatkowski and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the many processes that influence ground level concentrations of greenhouse gases and air quality pollutants is crucial to interpreting the impact of anthropogenic atmospheric emissions. In particular, characterising the role of the road transport sector as a major emission source enables improved assessment of the available abatement opportunities. The present study utilises both atmospheric modelling and monitoring to evaluate the current variation in carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides across London and the wider UK. The potential benefits of future road transport scenarios are assessed through an Integrated Assessment Model. The analysis should be of interest to professionals concerned with the climate change and air quality benefits of adopting hybrid buses and fully electric vehicles in urban areas.
Download or read book Transportation Land Use and Integration written by I.M. Schoeman and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years the integration of the location of land use and activities in spatial systems, as well as the provision of transport in movement of goods, services and people, has been recognized as a challenge amongst various specialists, including: engineers, transportation planners, economists, environmentalists, urban and regional planners and developers. The purpose of this book is to address transportation modelling in terms of technology, techniques and methodology application in context to the interface between transportation systems, land use planning, and environmental challenges and application. The methodology of transportation modelling is applied to international practices and application based on specific case studies, inclusive of public transportation projects; transportation modelling techniques in practice; international research agenda; network design and channel strategies; strategic planning; application of technology in traffic surveys and interpretation; emissions from transportation systems; application of mathematical models and the interface between environment, land use and development in terms of location in space and the resulting activities. Of value to both theorists and practitioners, this book references the integration of transportation modelling techniques within an interdisciplinary environment inside all spatial systems.
Download or read book Transport Models in Urban Planning Practices written by Marco te Brömmelstroet and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how transportation models can play a role in a changing transport planning and policy making context. Most models are rooted in decades of development work and are geared to offer value-free, academic and explicit knowledge to transport planning experts. However, planning practice has changed dramatically over the years, resulting in a less technical rational view on the use of such knowledge – especially so in early, strategy making phases. More and more complex policy goals, integration of a wide area of other policy domains, a wider, ever-changing and much more mixed group of planning participants and much more focus on ‘wicked problems’. The book maps how this influences the effectiveness of transport modelling exercises and explores several state-of-the-art implementations. This book was published as a special issue of Transport Reviews.

This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major findings include evidence that: start emissions and accurate vehicle registry data have the biggest impact on accurate regional emission inventories; neighbourhoods closer to downtown tend to be low emitters while having high exposures to traffic-related air pollution, while the opposite is true for neighbourhoods in the suburbs and periphery of the region; and marginalized neighbourhoods with high social disadvantage tend to have the highest exposure levels in the region, while at the same time generating some of the lowest quantities of traffic-related air pollution. These findings support the claim that traffic is creating environmental justice issues at the metropolitan level." --

Download or read book Emission estimation based on traffic models and measurements written by Nikolaos Tsanakas and published by Linköping University Electronic Press. This book was released on 2019-04-24 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traffic congestion increases travel times, but also results in higher energy usage and vehicular emissions. To evaluate the impact of traffic emissions on environment and human health, the accurate estimation of their rates and location is required. Traffic emission models can be used for estimating emissions, providing emission factors in grams per vehicle and kilometre. Emission factors are defined for specific traffic situations, and traffic data is necessary in order to determine these traffic situations along a traffic network. The required traffic data, which consists of average speed and flow, can be obtained either from traffic models or sensor measurements. In large urban areas, the collection of cross-sectional data from stationary sensors is a costefficient method of deriving traffic data for emission modelling. However, the traditional approaches of extrapolating this data in time and space may not accurately capture the variations of the traffic variables when congestion is high, affecting the emission estimation. Static transportation planning models, commonly used for the evaluation of infrastructure investments and policy changes, constitute an alternative efficient method of estimating the traffic data. Nevertheless, their static nature may result in an inaccurate estimation of dynamic traffic variables, such as the location of congestion, having a direct impact on emission estimation. Congestion is strongly correlated with increased emission rates, and since emissions have location specific effects, the location of congestion becomes a crucial aspect. Therefore, the derivation of traffic data for emission modelling usually relies on the simplified, traditional approaches. The aim of this thesis is to identify, quantify and finally reduce the potential errors that these traditional approaches introduce in an emission estimation analysis. According to our main findings, traditional approaches may be sufficient for analysing pollutants with global effects such as CO2, or for large-scale emission modelling applications such as emission inventories. However, for more temporally and spatially sensitive applications, such as dispersion and exposure modelling, a more detailed approach is needed. In case of cross-sectional measurements, we suggest and evaluate the use of a more detailed, but computationally more expensive, data extrapolation approach. Additionally, considering the inabilities of static models, we propose and evaluate the post-processing of their results, by applying quasi-dynamic network loading.
