The project has three objectives. First, we will develop operating mode-based PM emissions models for light-duty vehicles based on real-world tailpipe emissions data. Second, vehicle operating mode and PM emissions will be modeled spatially as a function of transportation network variables and the surrounding land use environment. Finally, transient operating events will be studied to determine the associated PM emissions and their spatial distribution.
