In order to effectively control and regulate road traffic emissions related to air quality in urban areas, a valid link between emitters and receptors has to be established. This means that a relationship between concentration values and emission values should be achieved, taking into account the contribution of traffic to the overall air pollution problem. In the present paper traffic management is approached as an optimisation problem, targeting at minimising air pollution concentration values at specific sites of an area of interest. (A)
