Environment
Based
on traffic flows, on the information on the composition of the vehicle
fleets and hence on the emission factors, the ASTRA model calculates the
well to wheel emissions from transport. Besides emissions, fuel consumption
and, based on this, fuel tax revenues from transport are estimated. CO2,
CO, NOx and VOC are the air pollutants included in the model estimation.
ASTRA is able to simulate the impact on transport emissions of measures affecting the amount of transport demand, its mode split, the fleet composition.
