The Real-World Emissions Workshop is annually organized by the Coordinating Research Council to present research and contributions that improve emissions and air quality, and evolves in response to research needs.
At this year’s 32nd CRC Real-World Emissions Workshop, part of the work done under the IRTEMS project was presented on a platform presentation under the Emissions Modeling section.
The IRTEMS project has been presented at the NC State University Energy Research Spark Talks that took place on September 30, 2021 during the Energy Week.
The main goals of the IRTEMS project were showcased virtually live on zoom to students and faculty interested in energy related research.
The event recording is up on youtube and can be viewed here.

IRTEMS (H2020-MSCA-IF-2019, Grant Agreement 896417) aims at developing an instantaneous road traffic emission modelling system for its application at city scale.
The final result is a useful and thorough tool to provide accurate city-wide emission results. It will be developed by means of the implementation of an instantaneous traffic emission modelling system with high resolution at city scale. This tool will help to give knowledge-based answers for measures to be implemented for good air quality in cities taking into account gender dimension and ethical aspects in all steps of the project.
For the purpose of the project, a 2-year stay in the USA with experts on measuring and modelling emissions is carried out with a 1-year returning phase to an emission and air quality modelling reference group in Europe, located in Madrid.
Collaborations with enterprises of the transport sector and other research organizations with expertise on instantaneous traffic emission models are contemplated through the research program. This aspect reinforces the strong inter/multidisciplinary of the project to develop a powerful tool and to provide solutions involving different aspects to generate an important impact on society. On the other hand, this ambitious project is a career opportunity that will help to generate new research lines.
All the research results and knowledge generated during the project will be openly accessible by scientific publications and several dissemination activities for different target audiences. This will help to involve different sectors on the research activities, increasing the interest of a wider part of the society. In this case, by contributing to a better air quality through the analysis of air traffic emissions.
