Highlights Analyze the impact of license plate restriction on emission reduction in Hangzhou, China. A bottom-up approach for estimating total vehicle emissions. Localize the vehicle emission rates in MOVES. Use the VISUM traffic simulation model to obtain link-based traffic data. Combine emission & traffic simulators to estimate total vehicle emissions.
Abstract Many emission models have been developed for estimating the impact of transport policies on vehicle emissions. Macroscopic models, such as MOBILE and COPERT, are used for area analysis, while microscopic models, such as CMEM, are applied for corridor analysis. It is well known that driving dynamics are critical for estimating vehicle emissions. MOVES can be used for both macroscopic and microscopic emission analysis, and its advantage lies in the consideration of driving dynamics. Using a bottom-up approach, we study the impact of license plate restriction policy on vehicle emission reduction by localizing the emission rates in MOVES according to the vehicle emission standards in China. We implement the approach to evaluate the impact on the total vehicle emissions in Hangzhou, China before and after the implementation of license plate restriction policy. In the restricted region, the reductions of total Vehicle Kilometer Traveled (VKT) and total emissions are 9.6% and 6.9%, respectively. The result shows that the license plate restriction policy is effective in achieving the targeted emission reduction.
