TEE 2005: An advanced software tool for the modelling of direct impacts of transport system

Abstract

The new version of the TEE (Transport Energy Environment) model has been developed in the frame of the FP5 ISHTAR and HEARTS Projects with several features for better analysing transport related direct impacts, taking into account vehicles kinematics, cold start emissions distribution, parking processes, noise emissions and accident occurrence. Specific efforts were dedicated to the modelling of the effects of vehicles kinematics on hot emissions, where the software calculates link emissions by adopting average speed based functions, instantaneous emissions, or the innovative 'kinematics correction functions' model, and the modelling of parking processes which are relevant for cold start and evaporative emissions.
