Low Emission Zone (LEZ)

چکیده
Regulations restricting ownership and the utilisation of private vehicles are on the rise to improve the efficiency and quality of transport systems worldwide. Rising levels of congestion, local air pollution and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions drive decision makers to adopt strategic policies to restrict traffic. License plate lotteries, driving bans, and peak-hour driving restrictions are gaining momentum in bigger cities. Low Emission Zones (LEZs), also called environmental zones, are a widespread measure to influence urban vehicle fleet compositions and improve air quality. The concept focuses on drawing a boundary around an urban area to deter highly polluting traffic.

Effects of Air Pollution and the Introduction of the London Low Emission Zone on the Prevalence of Respiratory and Allergic Symptoms in Schoolchildren in East London: A Sequential Cross-Sectional Study
The adverse effects of traffic-related air pollution on children's respiratory health have been widely reported, but few studies have evaluated the impact of traffic-control policies designed to reduce urban air pollution. We assessed associations between traffic-related air pollutants and respiratory/allergic symptoms amongst 8-9 year-old schoolchildren living within the London Low Emission Zo...
متن کاملElectronic Road Pricing System for Low Emission Zones to Preserve Driver Privacy
At present, great cities try to prevent from high levels of pollution and traffic jam by restricting the access of vehicles to centric zones. They are also known as Low-Emission Zones (LEZ). Some of the most important issues of LEZs are the risk of losing privacy of the citizen who drives through the LEZ and a significant error percentage on detection of fraudulent drivers. In this article, an ...
متن کاملEffectiveness of Low Emission Zones: Large Scale Analysis of Changes in Environmental NO2, NO and NOx Concentrations in 17 German Cities
BACKGROUND Low Emission Zones (LEZs) are areas where the most polluting vehicles are restricted from entering. The effectiveness of LEZs to lower ambient exposures is under debate. This study focused on LEZs that restricted cars of Euro 1 standard without appropriate retrofitting systems from entering and estimated LEZ effects on NO2, NO, and NOx ( = NO2+NO). METHODS Continuous half-hour and ...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of injection parameters on a heavy duty diesel engine performance and emission characteristics. In order to analyze the injection and spray characteristics of diesel fuel with employing high-pressure common-rail injection system, the injection characteristics such as injection delay, injection duration, injection rate, number of nozzle hole...
متن کاملExploring Intra-Urban Accessibility and Impacts of Pollution Policies with an Agent-Based Simulation Platform: GaMiroD
In this work we address the issue of sustainable cities by focusing on one of their very central components: daily mobility. Indeed, if cities can be interpreted as spatial organizations allowing social interactions, the number of daily movements needed to reach this goal is continuously increasing. Therefore, improving urban accessibility merely results in increasing traffic and its negative e...
