Abstract

Vehicle circulation causes a significant amount of atmospheric pollution. The most effective ions proposed worldwide are of two kinds, restrictive laws on vehicle homologation and research to improve existing vehicle and energy efficiency monitoring technologies. The present work belongs in the framework of qualifying and quantifying the environmental impact of traffic. The model proposed here is based on the integration of macro (network level), micro (single- link and single-node level) and ultra-micro (single-vehicle level) models to estimate consumption and emissions at both local and network level. The overall methodology, the links between the models, the characteristics of the micro- and ultra-micro models, inputs and outputs of the different stages and the final outputs are described in the following section.
