The PΔP (Power-Delta-Power) vehicle emissions tool uses an innovative approach to predict motor vehicle energy use, fuel consumption, air pollutant emissions and greenhouse gas emissions at a high resolution (second-by-second).
The PΔP software is a vehicle emissions impact assessment tool that uses high resolution emissions data from laboratory or on-road emission measurements (PEMS) to calibrate prediction algorithms.
PΔP quantifies the impacts of traffic and operational conditions on energy use (electric vehicles) and emissions, including, but not limited to:
-
congestion
-
signals/roundabouts
-
signal settings (actuated, coordination)
-
variable speed limits
-
road gradient
-
route optimisation
-
vehicle loading
-
logistics optimisation
-
connected and autonomous vehicles
-
tunnel design (air flow, road-gradient effects).
