A Customizable Web-Based Emissions Calculator for Midwest Freight Carriers and Regional Planners
项目名称: A Customizable Web-Based Emissions Calculator for Midwest Freight Carriers and Regional Planners
摘要: In previous National Center for Freight and Infrastructure Research and Education (CFIRE) funded research, emissions calculation methodologies were developed to forecast freight-related emissions of criteria air pollution and greenhouse gases. While simple emission factors exist, these new methodologies are unique because they incorporate location-specific, speed-dependent data for freight transport. This data can be coupled to speed dependent emission factors to produce a much more rigorous emissions inventory that reflects location-specific driving conditions. Because fuel economy and combustion vary considerably with speed, these inventories should improve accuracy considerably if they can be properly customized. The goal of this work is to provide a web-based tool for easy estimation of fleet emissions using state-specific data, and also enable further customization to reflect driving conditions by individual fleet managers.
