Abstract

A macro-scale methodology to estímate the emission of vehicles in urban centers is developed and introduced in this article. This approach is based on transport activity level for different vehicle categories, for those cases where there are no transport models so as to provide the information required to apply conventional micro-scale methodology. The correlation between activity level and emission is obtained, using data from emission inventories developed for seven urban centers in Chile. For this country, results of transport models were available and the application of conventional micro-scale emission methodology was applicable. Also, correlation functions between activity level and social-economics and demographics explicative variables were worked out, employing a least square type Gauss-Newton method. The macro-scale methodology was applied to 17 urban localities, which allowed us to obtain mobile sources emission inventories, by identifying the responsibilities on pollutant emissions of the different vehicle categories due to vehicles fleets.
