ESTIMATION OF SPATIALLY RESOLVED ROAD TRANSPORT EMISSIONS FOR AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT APPLICATIONS IN THE NORTH WEST REGION OF ENGLAND

Spatially resolved estimates of combustion and non-combustion related emissions of CO, NO sub(x), VOCs, and PM from road transport sources have been generated using detailed models for combustion-related emissions which take into account different emissions profiles associated with particular vehicle groups, different road types, and journeys under cold start conditions. Emissions estimates have been generated for a 1x1 km grid covering the region's urban and industrial zones and a 5x5 km grid for the whole study area. Emissions models were generated and applied within a GIS environment. Areas of uncertainty in the estimation procedure have been examined and the results compared with alternative data sources. To the extent possible, the methods and data sources used are intended to be generic, especially with respect to other administrative areas of the U.K.
