DYNAMIC MODELING OF VEHICLE EMISSIONS GENERATED ON THE URBAN AND SUBURBAN FREEWAYS OF PARIS REGION

This work stems from research on the influence of polluting emissions of suburbanization via the extension of suburban freeway networks and increases in traffic, and is applied to the case of the Ile-de-France. To evaluate emissions of pollutants issued from suburban freeway traffic, investigators have modeled precisely the emissions of atmospheric pollutants to apply it to the freeway network of Ile-de-France. Macroscopic traffic measures are employed continuously every 500 to 4,000 m and averaged over a 6-minute period. To deduce the real individual emissions from known unit emissions and to build a theory with physical and chemical considerations, investigators specified individual speed profiles made up of driving cycles and according to traffic variables used. So, with, as a goal, the search for better precision in evaluating emissions, investigators built a dynamic bottom-up model with a 6-minute step that is sensitive to variations of traffic flows--unlike top-down models. This model can serve as an aid in decision making, permitting evaluation and comparison of traffic control strategies and management policies.
