IMPACT OF WIND ON OBSERVED VALUES IN URBAN EPMS FIELD TESTING (NOX AND CO2 MEASURED AT ROADSIDE)

The National Police Agency has been developing the Environment Protection Management System (EPMS). This system can be used to encourage smoother flows of traffic and reductions in traffic pollution by providing drivers with information on alternative routes, by displaying recommended driving speeds and by implementing more sophisticated signal controls, using the pollution sensors and vehicle detectors installed at roadside linked with the central control devices to provide a wide range of data. The agency has conducted empirical tests to understand the influence of natural winds if the system is to be applied in a practical context. This paper reports on this testing.
