Abstract

Accurate estimations and assessments of vehicle emissions can support decision-making processes. Current emission estimation tools involve several calculation methods that provide estimates of the exhaust components that result from driving on urban arterial roads. This is an important consideration, as the emissions generated have a direct impact on the health of pedestrians near the roads. In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of emission models, especially in combination with traffic simulator models. This is because it is very difficult to obtain an actual measurement of road emissions for all vehicles travelling along the analysed road section. This paper concerns a review of selected traffic simulations and the estimation of exhaust gas components models. The models presented have been aggregated into a group with respect to their scale of accuracy as micro, meso, and macro. This paper also presents an overview of selected works that combine both traffic and e...

Validation of a Vehicle Emission Model Using On-Road Emission Measurements
Gavin Fisher

2005

The effect emissions from roadways have on air quality is an increasingly important environmental issue. As a result, regulators and developers are being required to invest large amounts of resources into managing and assessing roadway effects on air quality. Good information on vehicle emission inventories and dispersion modelling assessments is largely dependent on knowing the amount of pollutants being discharged from the on-road vehicle fleet. It is common practice to use emission models (e.g. USEPA Mobile6) to estimate the rate at which pollutants are discharged from vehicles. Vehicle emission models often do not provide accurate estimates of real-world emissions. This paper undertakes a comparison between modelled and measured vehicle emissions of carbon monoxide (CO). In Auckland, during April 2003, the tailpipe emissions from over 35,000 vehicles were measured using remote sensing technology. The measured vehicle emissions of CO are compared to modelled emissions provided by...

Emissions Modeling for Road Transportation in Urban Areas: State-of-Art Review
Abdelazim Negm, Mahmoud Bady

Estimating and measuring emissions by road traffic is a key-issue for air pollution management in transportation sector. It introduces a good method for the environmental evaluation of the transportation system scenarios. Emission models are important issue in this respect. There are several emission models available worldwide. These models distinguish between static and dynamic models. It depends on the amount of data available for the transport fleet and its specifications. Monitoring emissions in a study area can, also, be a good method for calibration of such emission models. This paper presents an analysis of models used in estimating emissions from road transportation systems in urban areas. It compares between different emissions models that used in air pollution management of transportation scenarios. The study discusses, also the potential and limitation of each type. The difficulties of applying these models in developing countries are also discussed. Then, the study determines the required steps towards realistic transportation emission modeling in developing countries.

Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association Using a traffic simulation model (VISSIM) with an emissions model (MOVES) to predict emissions from vehicles on a limited-access highway
Abbas Hust

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that baseline global GHG emissions may increase 25-90% from 2000 to 2030, with carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions growing 40-110% over the same period. On-road vehicles are a major source of CO 2 emissions in all the developed countries, and in many of the developing countries in the world. Similarly, several criteria air pollutants are associated with transportation, for example, carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter (PM). Therefore, the need to accurately quantify transportation-related emissions from vehicles is essential. The new U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mobile source emissions model, MOVES2010a (MOVES), can estimate vehicle emissions on a second-by-second basis, creating the opportunity to combine a microscopic traffic simulation model (such as VISSIM) with MOVES to obtain accurate results. This paper presents an examination of four different approaches to capture the environmental impacts of vehicular operations on a 10-mile stretch of Interstate 4 (I-4), an urban limited-access highway in Orlando, FL. First (at the most basic level), emissions were estimated for the entire 10-mile section "by hand" using one average traffic volume and average speed. Then three advanced levels of detail were studied using VISSIM/MOVES to analyze smaller links: average speeds and volumes (AVG), second-by-second link drive schedules (LDS), and second-by-second operating mode distributions (OPMODE). This paper analyzes how the various approaches affect predicted emissions of CO, NOx, PM2.5, PM10, and CO 2 . The results demonstrate that obtaining precise and comprehensive operating mode distributions on a secondby-second basis provides more accurate emission estimates. Specifically, emission rates are highly sensitive to stop-and-go traffic and the associated driving cycles of acceleration, deceleration, and idling. Using the AVG or LDS approach may overestimate or underestimate emissions, respectively, compared to an operating mode distribution approach.

Vehicle-Specific Emissions Modeling Based upon on-Road Measurements
Nagui Rouphail

Environmental Science & Technology, 2010

Vehicle-specific microscale fuel use and emissions rate models are developed based upon real-world hot-stabilized tailpipe measurements made using a portable emissions measurement system. Consecutive averaging periods of one to three multiples of the response time are used to compare two semiempirical physically based modeling schemes. One scheme is based on internally observable variables (IOVs), such as engine speed and manifold absolute pressure, while the other is based on externally observable variables (EOVs), such as speed, acceleration, and road grade. For NO, HC, and CO emission rates, the average R 2 ranged from 0.41 to 0.66 for the former and from 0.17 to 0.30 for the latter. The EOV models have R 2 for CO 2 of 0.43 to 0.79 versus 0.99 for the IOV models. The models are sensitive to episodic events in driving cycles such as high acceleration. Intervehicle and fleet average modeling approaches are compared; the former account for microscale variations that might be useful for some types of assessments. EOV-based models have practical value for traffic management or simulation applications since IOVs usually are not available or not used for emission estimation.

Real World Driving: Emissions in Highly Congested Traffic
Gordon Andrews

SAE Technical Paper Series

The emissions from vehicles in real world driving are of current concern, as they are often higher than on legislated test cycles and this may explain why air quality in cities has not improved in proportion to the reduction in automotive emissions. This has led to the Real Driving Emissions (RDE) legislation in Europe. RDE involves journeys of about 90km with roughly equal proportion of urban, rural and motorway driving. However, air quality exceedances occur in cities with urban congested traffic driving as the main source of the emissions that deteriorate the air quality. Thus the emissions measured on RDE journeys may not be relevant to air quality in cities. A Temet FTIR and Horiba exhaust mass flow measurement system was used for the mass emissions measurements in a Euro 4 SI vehicle. A 5km urban journey on a very congested road was undertaken 29 times at various times so that different traffic congestion was encountered. Each journey was split into ten sections in order that the location and traffic conditions of the highest emissions could be determined. It was found that low speed stop-start traffic has much higher emissions than for freely moving traffic and most of the higher emissions on the longer 5km journeys occurred in relatively short sections of slow moving stop/start traffic. The journey used passed a roadside air quality monitor that exceeded the EU NO2 and PM standards on an annual basis and it was located by the most congested part of the route, where the traffic emissions are shown in this work to be at their highest.

Validation of road vehicle and traffic emission models – A review and meta-analysis
Robin Smit, Paul Boulter

Atmospheric Environment, 2010

Road transport is often the main source of air pollution in urban areas, and there is an increasing need to estimate its contribution precisely so that pollution-reduction measures (e.g. emission standards, scrapage programs, traffic management, ITS) are designed and implemented appropriately. This paper presents a meta-analysis of 50 studies dealing with the validation of various types of traffic emission model, including 'average speed', 'traffic situation', 'traffic variable', 'cycle variable', and 'modal' models. The validation studies employ measurements in tunnels, ambient concentration measurements, remote sensing, laboratory tests, and mass-balance techniques. One major finding of the analysis is that several models are only partially validated or not validated at all. The mean prediction errors are generally within a factor of 1.3 of the observed values for CO 2 , within a factor of 2 for HC and NO x , and within a factor of 3 for CO and PM, although differences as high as a factor of 5 have been reported. A positive mean prediction error for NO x (i.e. overestimation) was established for all model types and practically all validation techniques. In the case of HC, model predictions have been moving from underestimation to overestimation since the 1980s. The large prediction error for PM may be associated with different PM definitions between models and observations (e.g. size, measurement principle, exhaust/non-exhaust contribution).

Traffic pollution modelling and emission data
Morten Winther

Environmental Modelling & Software, 2006

Evaluation of traffic pollution in streets requires basically information on three main factors: traffic emissions, the meteorological conditions and the street surroundings. Dispersion models exist with various degree of sophistication, which are able to properly describe the dispersion conditions, and thus to predict the relationships between emissions and the concentration levels in the street. However, for real-world applications, the model calculations must be based on ''true'' emission data, and their estimation is not trivial. Significant uncertainty is still connected with emission data. Examining the relationships between model predictions and measurements with respect to the meteorological conditions and inter-relationships between different pollution components allows quantitative evaluation of the traffic emissions. This methodology is illustrated using the Danish Operational Street Pollution Model e OSPM, and time series of traffic related pollutants. Street level concentrations of NO x and CO are calculated using OSPM as the dispersion model and emission data estimated by the widely used COPERT methodology. Comparison with measurements shows significant underestimation of the pollution concentrations and especially the CO/NO x ratio. An alternative set of traffic emission factors, using a more simplified vehicle classification methodology, provides better agreement with the measured concentrations. Evaluation of these results provides some guidance on the necessary modifications of the ''real-world'' traffic emission factors.

Road traffic simulation model for predicting pollutant emissions
Hafidh AlSamarrai

Atmospheric Environment (1967), 1988

digital computer simulation model of traffic flow and pollution emissions has been developed for free-flow situations using car-following theory and constrained random input to predict the emissions of gaseous pollutants in the atmosphere emitted from different types of vehicles on the road. The type of vehicle, its position, speed and acceleration are then used to predict the total pollutant emissions in the atmosphere. The model is designed to find the pollutants emission of nitrogen oxides as NO2 and hydrocarbons as CH, emitted to the atmosphere from different types of vehicles by free-flowing traffic on the road. The program summed up the pollutant emissions for all vehicles in the system to represent the total emissions of pollutants. The model is then used to examine various traffic and pollutant control strategies.

Evaluating vehicular emissions with an integrated mesoscopic and microscopic traffic simulation
William Farrell, Marianne Hatzopoulou, Ahsan Alam, naveen eluru

Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 2014

This paper demonstrates the implementation of a traffic simulation linked with instantaneous emissions modelling and is used to evaluate the effects of street closures and area-wide pedestrianization on vehicle-induced greenhouse gas emissions. The study is set in Montreal, Canada where traffic in a dense borough (8656 links) is simulated in a dynamic traffic assignment mode to generate second-by-second speed profiles along every link in the 7-8 AM period. Instantaneous speeds are then used to estimate link-level and intersection-level emissions. The traffic demand at the borough boundaries is simulated using a mesoscopic traffic assignment model developed for the Montreal metropolitan region (127 217 links). Street closures and area-wide pedestrianization schemes are modelled within the microscopic as well as the mesoscopic models to evaluate their effects on greenhouse gas emissions, both while accounting for changes in demand and under constant demand. In all cases, we observe an increase in borough-level greenhouse gas emissions compared to the base-case scenario indicating that such schemes do not lead to a reduction in emissions even when accounting for changes in demand. We also compare emissions calculated using the microscopic models (traffic and emissions) and those obtained from the mesoscopic assignment (traffic and average-speed emissions) and observe that the regional model is much less sensitive to local-level changes mostly due to the incapacity of simulating accelerations and decelerations and therefore underestimating the changes in borough-level emissions compared to the base-case scenario. This indicates the importance of adopting instantaneous emissions models for the evaluation of changes to street configuration.

A new method to calculate emissions with simulated traffic conditions
K. Kraschl-Hirschmann, Stefan Hausberger

2010

Microscopic traffic simulation models coupled with instantaneous emission models have the potential to provide improved assessments of the environmental impact of traffic networks, management strategies and technology implementations. This paper describes a toolbox, which links the microscopic traffic flow simulator VISSIM with the instantaneous emission model PHEM (Passenger car and Heavy-duty Emission Model). PHEM was developed to simulate a full fleet of heavy-duty vehicles, passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. The supporting data-set includes gasoline and diesel vehicles from EURO 0 to EURO 6. PHEM calculates vehicle fuel consumption and emissions, using speed trajectories as model input. VISSIM is able to supply these necessary speed profiles for all vehicles within the network. In order to supplement realistic traffic volume with traffic control strategies an interface between VISSIM and the adaptive Urban Traffic Control System MOTION by Siemens has been developed. This paper discusses the evaluation of the modeled traffic situations in urban road network with VISSIM and PHEM by measurements on the road and on the chassis dynamometer. Intensive calibration of the traffic flow simulation has been conducted to match the vehicles' 'acceleration' and 'desiredspeed' parameters to the local conditions. Comparative driving cycles, from the 'on-road' measurements recorded via GPS instrumented vehicles and the 'virtual' network simulations were selected. The 'on-road' and 'virtual network' driving cycles were measured on the chassis dynamometer with a EURO 4 diesel car. The measurements were compared with the PHEM predictions. This approach allowed the uncertainties associated with modeling speed profiles to be compared with the uncertainties related to the emission model. The overall model performance was evaluated by comparing the PHEM emission calculations based on simulated speed profiles with the measured emissions from the 'on-road' driving cycles.

Evaluating vehicles emissions through traffic simulation
Eugen Rosca

2014

The dynamic of the human activities due to the globalization and to the extension of the free movement of persons and goods involve the increasing of traffic flows crossing transport sensitive areas, generating great negative externalities (air, soil pollution, noise, vibrations). The paper deal with a method to assess the vehicles exhaust emissions combining traffic survey, traffic simulation and emission factors proposed by the European Environment Agency. A computer simulation model is conceived to record individual movement of cars and computing emissions based on their activity (traveled distance, speed), technical features, emissions standard. The case study investigates the exhaust emissions process on Prahova Valey in the Carpathians, a transport sensitive area bordering protected natural areas. The presence of tourist and cultural heritage attraction points, combined with the specific topography of the road network generate, during weekends and holidays, congestion phenomen...

A review of vehicular emission models
Matjaz Knez, Katja Baškovič

This paper reviews the latest literature about vehicular emission models. Vehicular emission models are methods for calculating the level of pollutant emissions, regarding emission factors, average speed, fuel consumption and the amount of traffic on the defined type of road. In the paper we are turning towards urban roads and looking for all types of vehicular emission models and good practice examples.

Micro-simulation of a traffic fleet to predict the impact of traffic management on exhaust emissions
B. Beusen

2010

Despite the stringent air quality standards, urban traffic has been a major source of atmospheric pollution. It is therefore useful to investigate the potential effect of traffic management on emissions. Micro-simulation traffic models shall aid in developing traffic management systems and in urban planning practice. This study presents one such traffic model known as Paramics that can simulate a given traffic scenario based on the composition of the fleet and the characteristics of the roads, and outputs the speeds and the positions of each of the vehicles in the fleet. The output of Paramics was served as an input to Versit+, an emissions prediction model which can predict for each vehicle class, the temporal and spatial concentrations of the exhaust emissions. Before employing Versit+ for this study, the model was validated using the instantaneous emissions collected by VITO's On-Board Emissions and Energy Measurement (VOEM) system. Paramics and Versit+ were jointly used to examine two traffic management schemes in Nieuw Zurenborg, part of the 19th century city belt of Antwerp, Belgium. First, the effect of reduced speed limit in this network on per kilometre emissions is investigated. When the speed-limits for all the roads in this network were reduced, the model predicted that the emissions will be lower for CO 2 , NOx and PM. Secondly, the effect of a green-wave (synchronization of traffic signal lights) along the N180, in this network was investigated. The two scenarios, with and without the green-wave were compared for emissions. The results showed that the presence of green-wave reduces the emissions by about 10%.
