Ubiquitous data-driven framework for traffic emission estimation and policy evaluation - Nature Sustainability
Urban traffic emission estimates are often too coarse or slow to evaluate decarbonization policies. A study now fuses data from traffic cameras and mobile phones to estimate citywide emissions in near-real time, finding strong spatiotemporal variation and a 16–22% emission drop after congestion pricing.
