“…It has a "car" module, which makes it possible to calculate the emissions from car traffic on roads. Pollutant emission results are calculated according to the EMEP/Corinair B710 and B760 methodology [85]. This involves calculating the hot emissions from the exhaust of the vehicle engine, the cold emissions arising at the start of engine operation, and the evaporative emissions, the sources of which include changes in the volume of fuel vapour in the vehicle tanks and the cooling of the tank after the vehicle engine has stopped.…”

Accurate estimations and assessments of vehicle emissions can support decision-making processes. Current emission estimation tools involve several calculation methods that provide estimates of the exhaust components that result from driving on urban arterial roads. This is an important consideration, as the emissions generated have a direct impact on the health of pedestrians near the roads. In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of emission models, especially in combination with traffic simulator models. This is because it is very difficult to obtain an actual measurement of road emissions for all vehicles travelling along the analysed road section. This paper concerns a review of selected traffic simulations and the estimation of exhaust gas components models. The models presented have been aggregated into a group with respect to their scale of accuracy as micro, meso, and macro. This paper also presents an overview of selected works that combine both traffic and emission models. The presented literature review also emphasises the proper calibration process of simulation models as the most important factor in obtaining accurate estimates. This work also contains information and recommendations on modelling that may be helpful in selecting appropriate emission estimation tools to support decision-making processes for, e.g., road managers.

Accurate estimation of vehicle emissions is essential and can be helpful in the decision-making process. Thanks to calculation methods, it is possible to accurately estimate the emissions that result from driving a car and to determine their impact on, for example, the health of pedestrians who are on the pavement near an arterial road. Recent years have seen an increase in the use and importance of emission models, as well as vehicle traffic simulation models. Increasingly, emission models are being combined with traffic simulation models, as it is not practical to actually measure the on-road emissions of an entire fleet of vehicles over a given stretch of road. This paper provides an overview of the selected work on the topic of emission modelling and vehicle traffic simulation models. The models are distinguished according to their respective scales of accuracy, i.e., micro, meso, and macro. Selected work combining emission and traffic simulation models is also presented, as well as development trends in the field. In particular, the paper also highlights the fact of proper calibration of vehicle traffic simulation models in order to obtain the most reliable vehicle emissions results from computational models. The review of the works carried out may be helpful for future projects concerning the use of simulation tools for transport and environmental decision-makers in the area of arterial roads.

“…Not only to verify the emission estimates but also to verify the data inputs and assumptions made in the calculations/model. 29 Engineering calculations are benecial over both direct measurement and emission factors as they can be used to model and predict emissions, as has been done for other methane sources, such as reservoirs and dairy farms, 30,31 but the accuracy of any predictions is dependent on the accuracy of the input data and assumptions. This method can only provide emission estimates for known emissions sources and is unable to identify new emission sources.…”
