Emission assessments
account for local, real-
driving conditions:
 Network-wide: No
boundaries
 Vehicle acceleration,
deceleration, cruising &
idling
 Variability in traffic flow
• Month of year
• Day of week
• Hour of day
• Holidays
• Special events
• Weather
• etc

19. WORK IN PROGRESS
Leeds CAZ study
19
 Key tasks:
 Sampling “calmer” driving trajectories  estimate LGV, HGV & Bus
trajectories
 Weighting & scaling time & space varying EFs by classified flow levels

20. OUTLOOK
BIG telematics data

SHORT-TERM: Target Case Study applications
▶ Traffic management interventions
 Variable Speed Limits (VSL) & ‘Smart’ motorways
 Demand management to alleviate congestion
 Smoothing traffic flow including ecoDriving
 Complex, unstable, congested networks
 Challenging to observe & model traffic flow e.g. Leeds
LONG-TERM:
 Network wide, system approach
 Real-time fusion of telematics, fast IEM & in-situ flow
monitoring
 All vehicle types: Buses (e.g. iBus London) and HGVs
