Research Project

NISS examined emission models for integrating on road emissions data with traffic parameters and produced a usable method for traffic management operations. The team verified results by integrating results from remote sensor data on emission measurements and traffic data using area wide detectors. They also designed ITS system architecture for performing field trial experimentation. NISS assembled a small forum of technical experts and representative users in the region to review the methodology and recommend revisions, if any, before performing field experimentation.
