  1. Session 1: Mexico Workshop Traffic and air quality in Europe Menno Keuken

  2. Content • EU road traffic development • EU road traffic emissions • Impact on air quality - cities • Future impact on air quality • Measures to reduce impact Impact of speed control on urban air quality (Rotterdam)

  3. EU road traffic development Impact of speed control on urban air quality (Rotterdam)

  4. EU fuel type Impact of speed control on urban air quality (Rotterdam)

  5. EU road traffic NOx emissions Impact of speed control on urban air quality (Rotterdam)

  6. EU road traffic VOC emissions Impact of speed control on urban air quality (Rotterdam)

  7. EU road traffic PM emissions Impact of speed control on urban air quality (Rotterdam)

  8. EU road traffic CO2 emissions Impact of speed control on urban air quality (Rotterdam)

  9. EU urban background:% non compliance EU-standards Impact of speed control on urban air quality (Rotterdam)

  10. In addition to regular components ultrafine particles and … Impact of speed control on urban air quality (Rotterdam)

  11. EU air quality • Clean Air for Europe – CAFE programme (EU policy) • 6 Framework R&D programme • National Emission Ceilings/EU-AQ Directives (member states implementation) Technological measures are not adequate to provide overall compliance with AQ standards in 2010 Impact of speed control on urban air quality (Rotterdam)

  12. Additional measures are required:noise, health and climate change • Technological (i.e.catalysts, engine and fuel) comply with EU-emission standards per vehicle, but volume of traffic … • Economic (i.e. road pricing, road tax, costly parking), but political/societal not popular • Spatial planning (i.e. limited parking, transferia, residential/offices, public transport) effective, but long-term • Traffic management (i.e. separate traffic lanes, “green” traffic lights flow, one-way streets and speed control) short-term and location-specific “hot spot” approach, effective, but requires control … • Transition to sustainable transport is required based upon technology breaktrough (i.e. hydrogen fuel cell, intelligent vehicles and roads) combined with integrated spatial planning and improved public transport Impact of speed control on urban air quality (Rotterdam)
