4. METHOD
Verification of speed & acceleration measurements

v = speed, a = acceleration, = road gradient

5. METHOD
Verification of concentration measurements
5
Distribution of the measurement distribution of a controlled gas mixture with known relative
abundances.The binned data shows the measurements with the solid line showing a Normal
distribution derived from the measured data (solid) and theoretical (dashed).

18. RECOMMENDATIONS
18
▶ RDE regulations
▶ Sooner rather than later i.e. before Jan 2017
▶ Transparency in RDE testing
▶ In-service RDE testing (deterioration emission controls, SCR dosing, DPF removal)
▶ Independent + Open data
? Environmental labelling for CO2 and air quality pollutants ? A marketing incentive ?
▶ Shift inTax landscape to include NOX penalty
▶ Price fuel e.g. Belgium Diesel +10cts per litre 2016-2017
▶ VED
▶ Company car Benefit in Kind (BiK) tax
▶ Car free City centres
▶ Sustainable mobility Active travel Green space
▶ Noise

19. And finally…. improving air quality
