Sino-Italian Cooperation ProgrammeItalian Ministry of Environment, Beijing Municipality, SEPA presentation byMarino MazzonDirector, ITS Division, Thetis S.p.A., Venice, Italyon behalf of the JV Thetis, Fata DTS, Ecotema, Atac
The reference scenario • The “Green Olympics” strategy of the Chinese Government • The Sino-Italian Coooperation Programme • The Beijing traffic congestion in the city centre • The traffic effects on air quality • The need of an innovative sustainable mobility intervention • ITS-TAP = Intelligent Transport System - Traffic Air Pollution • Objective: Mitigate the traffic originated emissions in the city centre through a combined action of on-occasion traffic limitation and public transport boosting and advanced management
The SICP, Sino-Italian Cooperation Programme • Cooperation areas: • Energy saving • Renewable energy sources • Reduction of coal consumption • Sustainable agriculture • Traffic emissions mitigation • An implementation measure of the Kyoto Protocol Clean Development Mechanism • Italian side: • IMET (Italian Ministry for Environment and Territory) in cooperation with Italian Embassy Italian Foreign Commerce Institute • Chinese side: • SEPA (State Environmental Protection Administration) • MOST (Ministry of Science and Technology) • Beijing Municipal Government • Shanghai Municipal Government • Academy of Social Sciences • Some 20 ongoing projects • about 70 M euro grants • over 40 Italian and Chinese partnering organizations involved
Basic considerations for sustainable mobility in urban areas • Quality of environment in urban areas is also heavily determined by traffic and in general by mobility strategies • Improving environment means also improving mobility • Possible combined actions (among others): • access limitation to central areas in case of heavy pollution • Encourage use of public transport through bus localization services, bus lanes control, traffic light priority, parking services, information service • Integrated management of urban delivery services and waste collection • Encourage car pooling and car sharing

The situation in Beijing • 2.3 million vehicles (and increasing) • 1 million vehicles are old-type (under Euro I standard) • Highly populated area - energy consumption - pollution from heating - pollution from traffic • 45 % of days in 2002 did not meet the national standard • Various actions taken, but not enough • The issue is: improve air quality
The 2nd inner ring road Forbidden city the ITS-TAP concept Traffic counters and tag readers Air quality stations • Focus area: within the second ring road • concept: when air pollution is predicted to exceed a certain threshold, then activate two actions: • prevent access to the ring road area to “yellow tag” cars (1) • enhance public transport service • implementation: integrated management of • air quality monitoring and forecast • traffic limitation • bus transport (2) • Yellow tag cars are identified and classified as the most polluting • Buses are those connecting the Olympic village and the city centre

AQMSAir Quality Monitoring System • 6 fixed stations • analysers for • SO2, NOx, PM10, CO, O3, benzene, reactive HC; • - samplers for Metals and BaP; • - meteorological Instruments; • - atmospheric stability monitors • 30 saturation stations • passive samplers for • NO2, NOx, SO2, NH3, O3, BTX; • samplers for particulate matter • 3 mobile units • - analyzers for CO, NOx, particulate matter • 3 mobile emission analysers • Data Quality Control Centre • .
TMSTrafficMonitoringSystem • 22 monitoring stations, each composed of: • 3 radars (one per lane) with triple technology • (doppler, ultrasonic and passive infrared) • for incoming traffic monitoring and classification • 1 miniature radar for outgoing traffic flow monitoring • OCR cameras for license plate recognition • Local control unit • 8 noise sensors

Some specific benefits of ITS-TAP approach • use AQMS into a practical action scheme (measurements –-> actions) • Improve public transport efficiency through advanced service planning and real time monitoring(some 5% emissions reduction expected from public transport) • dynamic zone access limitations and real time control (reasonable mitigation and enforcement)
