EMISSION BEHAVIOUR OF HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLES: A HOLISTIC CALCULATION METHOD

This paper presents a semi-empirical, analytical method for calculating emissions caused by heavy-duty vehicles. The method is based on raw data determined with the help of the German-Swiss 'Heavy duty vehicle emission factors programme', and is mainly founded on a systematized data structure. The systematization, which concerns the emission data and the driving behaviour data, gives access to a much broader database than the emission factors programme. The chosen method provides for an analytical assessment of emission- and traffic-relevant measures. (A)
