Modeling air quality thanks to OPUS data in Wales
Wales 2018
The Caerphilly roadside NO2 improvement project, led by Ricardo Energy & Environment, aimed to assess the effectiveness of measures implemented to reduce roadside NO2 levels in Caerphilly, Wales. The project utilized Opus’ remote sensing technology to capture real-time emissions data from passing vehicles.
Remote sensing devices played a key role in evaluating the impact of local interventions on air pollution. The data collected was seamlessly integrated into Ricardo’s Rapid Air Platform, providing essential variables for studying and modeling airflows in the municipality. The system allowed users to extract statistics by vehicle type based on actual emissions.
This detailed data enabled the creation of dispersion models, which were used to predict and model air quality. Various traffic scenarios were assessed, and policy recommendations were made to the Welsh government to ensure effective pollution reduction interventions.
