Abstract (English)

ARTEMIS proposes to develop an improved emission model for road transport based on a harmonised methodology for national and regional inventories and forecasts. Starting point are two well know models (COPERT, HANDBOOK EMISSION FACTORS) which will be merged. The model development will be accompanied by a thematic network with representatives of the EU, the member states and other stakeholder. The model will include also new emission measurements of passenger cars, LDV and HDV which will be provided by other projects within the 5th FP. ARTEMIS will perform complementary data collection of traffic characteristics in EU and CEEC countries and analyse the driving behaviour in different European cities. The new emission model will be validated by street tunnel measurements and will be applied for different scenarios. The model will be distributed as software tool to be used by different user groups
