  1. Session 2: Mexico Workshop Impact of speed control on urban air quality (Rotterdam) Menno Keuken

  2. A13 Highway in Rotterdam (NL) • 130.000 vehicles per 24 h • 5-10 % heavy duty vehicles • environmental impact: noise and air pollution (exceeding EU standards: annual 40 g/m3 for NO2 and PM10) • epidemiological research: adverse health effects within 100 m from A13 • active local citizens Impact of speed control on urban air quality (Rotterdam)

  3. Options for traffic management on highway in Rotterdam • reduction of traffic volume • reduction of specific traffic (e.g. trucks) • improve traffic dynamics (avoid stop-and-go) by 80 km/h speed trajectory control Based upon economic/technical feasibility: option 3 Impact of speed control on urban air quality (Rotterdam)

  4. Emission factors related to speed Impact of speed control on urban air quality (Rotterdam)

  5. Improve traffic dynamics by speed control to reduce emissions by 25% Impact of speed control on urban air quality (Rotterdam)

  6. Noise reduction by noise screen Impact of speed control on urban air quality (Rotterdam)

  7. Costs involved: 3 km Highway • Cost: Trajectory control investment: 1.5 M€and annual maintenance: 0.5 M€ • Income: fines/per day: 3000/day (start)  1000/day (now); 250.000/year = 7 M€/year Cost-benefits are profitable! Impact of speed control on urban air quality (Rotterdam)

  9. “before” at 50 m “after” at 50 m “before” at 200 m “after” at 200 m Impact traffic measures on NO2 contribution near highway: up- and down-wind measurements “before and after” NO2 traffic contribution (westerly wind) 45 40 35 30 25 Concentration (µg/m3) 20 15 10 5 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 hour Impact of speed control on urban air quality (Rotterdam)

  10. “before” at 50 m “after” at 50 m “before” at 200 m “after” at 200 m Impact traffic measures on PM10 contribution near highway: up- and down-wind measurements “before and after” PM traffic contribution (westerly wind) 10 10 8 6 4 Concentration (µg/m3) 2 0 -2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 hour Impact of speed control on urban air quality (Rotterdam)

  11. Impact speed control measures • Mobility improved: less congestion • Noise reduction: especially during night • Air quality improvement: 5-10% NO2 and PM10upto 100 m [Note: tendency local authorities only to comply with AQ standards, while for health protection “more” is required ….] Impact of speed control on urban air quality (Rotterdam)
