Real-Time Monitoring Networks and Transport Emissions for Tailored Zero Pollution Action Plans in European Cities

运输部门是环境退化的主要因素，包括对生态系统和人类健康有负面影响的空气和噪音污染。这一点在城市地区尤为重要，在这些地区，交通排放和高人口密度的汇合导致了不利的健康影响和巨大的经济负担。即将到来的交通部门改革对于实现欧盟绿色协议设定的目标至关重要。零污染行动计划是在许多不同层面减少污染的必要工具。通过与利益相关者共同创建，Net4Cities将促进到2050年实现零污染愿景。Net4Cities的支柱是这种跨学科的方法，在这种方法中，联盟成员将与包括港口和机场在内的伙伴城市接触，共同产生新的知识，并确保相关性、接受性，并最大限度地提高可转移性和可开发性。在该项目期间，将在11个欧洲城市推进和扩大空气和噪声污染监测基础设施，包括机场和港口等交通枢纽，以符合即将出台的指令，并为健康影响评估提供数据。这些活动旨在通过中期和长期途径产生长期影响，通过为实施减少交通相关排放的有效管理战略提供量身定制的、可转让的循证支持，为欧洲城市提供更多采用的路线图。主要项目成果将合并到Net4Cities Studio中，该工作室将提供(1)基于网络的界面，提供实时地图和信息，以提高认识；(2)政策决策支持工具，将为考虑创新技术的解决方案的实施和建议提供指导，如动态交通管理系统和将基于自然的解决方案纳入总体政策设计。

The transport sector is a major contributor to environmental degradation, including air and noise pollution that have negative effects to ecosystems and human health. This is particularly critical in urban areas, where the confluence of transport emissions and high population density result in adverse health impacts and substantial economic burden. The upcoming changes in the transport sector will be critical to reach targets set by the EU Green Deal. The Zero Pollution Action plans are essential tools to reduce pollution at many different levels. Through co-creation with stakeholders Net4Cities will facilitate the realization of the zero-pollution vision by 2050. The backbone of Net4Cities is this transdisciplinary approach in which the consortium members will engage with the partner cities, including ports and airports, to jointly produce new knowledge, and ensure relevance, uptake, and maximize transferability and exploitation. During the project, air and noise pollution monitoring infrastructure will be advanced and expanded in 11 European cities, including transportation hubs such airports and ports, to conform with upcoming directives and provide data for health impact assessments. The activities are designed to have long-lasting impact through both mid-, and long-term pathways, providing a roadmap for greater uptake in European cities by offering tailored, transferrable, evidence-based support for implementing effective management strategies for reducing transport related emissions. The main project results will be consolidated in the Net4Cities Studio which will provide (1) a web-based interface with real-time maps and information to raise awareness, and (2) a support tool for policy decisions that will provide guidance for operationalization and recommendations of solutions that consider innovative technologies such as dynamic traffic management systems and inclusion of nature-based solutions in overarching policy designs.
