POLMIT One of the consequences of the continuing increase in road transport has been the growth of pollution, both atmospheric and ground based. Efforts have been made by policy makers, engineers, scientists and the public to reduce the environmental impa ...
EuropeanMEET EU Member States are required to report their annual emissions according to various international obligations. In addition, environmental policy-making requires reliable estimates of emissions for current and future technologies. This is particularly ...
EuropeanNPF-Urban Transport The European White Paper on Transport Policy identified the ever-increasing congestion, environmental pollution and consumption of energy based on imported fossil fuels as key causes for the deteriorating performance of Europe's t ...
EuropeanVORTEX The continuous development of commercial exchanges, mainly the liberalisation of shipping on the Danube as a result of finishing the hostilities from Yugoslavia has led to a sudden change of transportation on waterways. Consequently, more and more ...
RomaniaB5 (NRP 41) The NRP 41 was launched by the Federal Council at the end of 1995 to improve the scientific basis on which Switzerland's traffic problems might be solved, taking into account the growing interconnection with Europe, ecological limits, and ...
SwitzerlandExhaust emissions from newly manufactured vehicles and diesel engines are heavily regulated by EU Directives (due to their adverse health effects) but very little data is currently available from any source which quantifies actual on-road diesel particula ...

EuropeanSOMOLEACTRU A balanced economic policy prescribes the neutralisation of the adverse external effects caused by transport related activity, particularly by introducing new types of tools within the processes and, implicitly, by obtaining benefits for the e ...
RomaniaReference is often made to the need to promote 'sustainable lifestyles'. Much research has examined the components of sustainability at a sector level (energy, transport, built form, etc.), but little work in the UK has directly audited complete ...
United KingdomThis project arose from the need to investigate the relative carbon intensity of locally produced food compared to that transported further but from grown using less fuel. The objectives for this small project are to understand the supply chains and build ...
United KingdomThe main objective of this project is to determine whether changes to emission standards from 1992 to the present day have had a corresponding effect on roadside air quality. Conclusions are to be based on measurements taken from the existing network of ...
United KingdomIn the framework of the preparation of the 6th EU Framework Programme, the concept of ERA (European Research Area) is becoming a true objective, aiming at the strengthening and the integration of the European research work. This framework and our future j ...
