Project name
NOx emissions from passenger cars and heavy commercial vehicles on gradients
Project duration
01.09.2017 - 31.12.2017
Brief description
At 45µg/m³ NO2, the annual average emission results for the city of Dresden at the Bergstraße measuring station are 5µg/m³ above the prescribed limit value. Road traffic has a major influence on the measured NO2 emissions.
This project comprises the measurement of commercial vehicles in real road traffic, with a focus on real emissions on gradients in Dresden, as an extension of the measurements already carried out with different passenger cars. The influence of the speed driven on the exhaust emissions produced when driving uphill along gradients is to be evaluated.
Varying the speed makes it possible to investigate its influence on the exhaust emissions produced. The focus of this study is on the evaluation of the generated end-of-pipe (EOP) nitrogen oxide emissions.
With the help of these measurements, an assessment of the effectiveness of speed control in relation to an improvement in air quality is to be investigated.
