Summary on Grant Application Form |

The RETEMM project will research real-world regulated and unregulated emissions with low time resolution to be achieved through invehicle and dynamometer measurements. RETEMM will study the effect of driver behaviour on exhaust emissions for vehicles driven in a range of urban traffic conditions; busy, quiet, congested, in cities, along different road types and across various junction geometries, to produce data suitable for the development of microscopic traffic emissions models. Building on earlier work, the emissions measurements will include cold starts for winter and summer and will seek to investigate the speciation of the cocktail of exhaust gases and explore how the levels vary across the spectrum of vehicles in the UK fleet. The results will improve the emissions prediction algorithm based on the traffic characteristics data from SCOOT, (Split Cycle offset Optimisation Technique) and demonstrate the transferability of the results in London. This RETEMM project will use state of art equipment made available from the EPSRC: JIF award, and collect data of a volume and nature that will be unique in the world.
