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

运输部门是造成环境退化的主要因素，包括空气和噪音污染，对生态系统和人类健康产生负面影响。这在城市地区尤其重要，因为在城市地区，交通排放和高人口密度共同造成不利的健康影响和沉重的经济负担。运输部门即将发生的变化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”是在不同层面减少污染的重要工具。通过与利益相关者共同创造，Net4Cities将促进到2050年实现零污染愿景。Net4Cities的核心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合作，共同产生新知识，并确保相关性、吸收和最大化可转移性和利用。在项目期间，将在11个欧洲城市改进和扩大空气和噪音污染监测基础设施，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持久的影响，通过为实施有效的管理战略减少交通相关排放提供量身定制的、可转让的、基于证据的支持，为欧洲城市更多地采用这些活动提供路线图。主要项目成果将整合到Net4Cities工作室中，该工作室将提供(1)基于网络的实时地图和信息界面，以提高人们的认识；(2)政策决策支持工具，为考虑创新技术（如动态交通管理系统）的解决方案的实施和建议提供指导，并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.
