1.1
Fundamental principle
The HBEFA-based emission calculation procedure allows you to calculate emission values by link, by territory or network-wide in VISUM. The calculation is based on the Handbook Emission Factors for Road Transport version 3.1. From the Handbook HBEFA 3.1: "The Handbook of emission factors for Road Transport provides emission factors, i.e. the specific emission in g/km for all current vehicle categories (PC, LDV, HDV and motorcycles), each divided into different categories, for a wide variety of traffic situations." Note: The complete HBEFA Handbook is available on the website www.hbefa.net.

The procedure can be calculated in two different ways: statically (for analysis period and analysis horizon) dynamically (additionally per analysis time interval) Note: You can calculate the dynamic variant, if volumes are available for individual analysis time intervals. Per demand segment, the volumes for warm emissions and cold start excess emissions stem from a selectable attribute. This attribute is interpreted as volume with time reference analysis period (AP). When calculating with AP-based volumes, the value is divided by the AP projection factor and multiplied by the AH projection factor. When calculating the fuel quality, as an indicator for the plausibility of the calculations, the network-wide fuel consumption (quantity/[g]) collected by demand segment is converted into the specific consumption ([l/100km]) separately by diesel and gasoline. First, the quantity is divided by the density of the fuel (gasoline ca. 0,75kg/l, diesel ca. 0,83kg/l) and then related to the mileage of the demand segment. The specific consumption by demand segment is displayed in the Statistics > Emissions (HBEFA) list and saved to the trace file.

Note: If you use uniform fleet compositions for each demand segment, the fleet composition for Urban is always applied.

Gradient class: The gradient class results from the attribute Gradient based on the following classification:
Value range < -5 % -5 % to below -3% -3% to below -1% -1% to below 1% 1% to below 3% 3% to below 5% 5% and more Gradient class -6 % -4 % -2 % 0% 2% 4% 6%
Level of Service (LOS): Depending on the parameter setting, the LOS is determined either directly from the content of the selected attribute or based on a classification by the specified attribute regarding the three specified class limits. Note: If you calculate by time interval and the set subattribute type is AHPI with values for time intervals, the LOS will be calculated per analysis time interval as well. Static traffic situation (i. e. without the LOS share): The urban/rural classification results directly from the link attribute Is Urban, the HBEFA link class directly from the link type. The speed class is determined on the basis of the set link attribute (default: v0), while only certain values are possible according to the traffic situation scheme in HBEFA (depending on urban/rural and link class):
If there is a traffic situation whose speed does not vary by more than 5km/h, which matches the characteristic urban/rural and the link class, it will be allocated. In the case of two such traffic situations (e.g. 55km/h), the one with the higher speed will be allocated. If no traffic situation fulfills this condition, the nearest traffic situation with the same link class will be used. If no traffic situation matches the specified combination of urban/rural and HBEFA link class, the default traffic situation Rural/Motorway-National/80km/h will be used.
PTV AG
For the used fleet composition, the emission factor weighted by the static traffic situation, the level of service and the gradient class will be multiplied for each pollutant to be calculated by the value of the volume attribute (AP) specified for the demand segment and by the length of the link. The result is the warm emission for this pollutant, this link and this demand segment based on the analysis period. Multiplied by the respective projection factor, the amount is saved in the respective link attribute (AP and AH) and added to the network-wide emission (AP and AH). If the calculation is additionally carried out per analysis time interval, the emission factor is determined once per interval due to the interval-dependent LOS and multiplied by the volume value for this interval and the length of the link. The result is then saved in the subattribute associated with the analysis time interval and added to the network-wide time-dependent emission.
Calculated pollutants
The following pollutants can be calculated in VISUM. The pollutants are divided into three groups: Group 1: Established measurement programs
Element CO Fuel Gasoline Diesel PM HC NOx CO2 reported CO2 total PN Description carbon monoxide fuel consumption fuel consumption fuel consumption particle matters hydrocarbons nitrogen oxide carbon dioxide "reported", i. e. without the biofuel share in the fuel carbon dioxide "total", computed as total CO2 from fuel consumption particle number
PTV AG
Note: The emission factors of the pollutants SO2, Pb and CO2 reported are country-specific because they depend on the composition of the fuel. So far, only values for Germany can be calculated in VISUM.
1.2.2
Calculation on routes
In order to determine the cold start excess emissions on routes, all routes of the demand segments to be calculated are evaluated from the origin to the destination. For each traversed link, a cold start excess share AP,S is calculated as the integral of the decay function over the link length. This share is multiplied with the volume of the route and the share of cold start of the origin zone of the route. Any attribute, whose content does not have to correspond to the total of the volumes of all routes, can be used as volume value when calculating warm emissions. In order to calculate meaningful cold start excess emissions anyhow, the value is divided by the volume of the demand segment afterwards and multiplied by the value of the volume attribute. That implies that the relation between the route volume and the link volume
PTV AG
multiplied by the value of the volume attribute yields the assumed route volume on the link, which, however, does not have to be constant along the route any more. Per link, the value is summed up over all routes. The evaluation of the routes can end as soon as the first four kilometers of the route are traversed, because the decay function is constantly 0 thereafter. After that, for each link, pollutant, and demand segment, the calculated value is multiplied with the cold start excess emission factor of the fleet composition allocated for urban and projected over AP and AH. As in the case of the polygonal method, the calculated absolute emission of the zone is then distributed proportionally to this indicator per link onto the links. Please note that this does not yield the exact dynamic route volumes but an acceptable approximation. In order to use the dynamic route volumes in the procedure, the traffic flow model of the used dynamic assignment would have to be reproduced. The volume per analysis time interval calculated from these dynamic route volumes during the assignment is used instead. Like the other emissions, the cold start excess emissions are aggregated network-wide and issued in the statistics list Emissions (HBEFA). Note: If no routes are available for a demand segment and the calculation on routes is demanded at a zone, no cold start excess emissions will be calculated for this zone. Besides the explicit rejection of the routes, this is for example the case if you want to determine emissions of service buses using a separate, artificial demand segment whose volumes result from, for example, the number of service trips. Here, the omission of the cold start excess emissions is in line with the fact that almost all of the trips are warm. The procedure can, however, still be run.

Element Description Emission If the option has been selected, the emissions are calculated statically, calculation for accordingly only for analysis period and analysis horizon. analysis period (AP) and analysis horizon (AH) Emission calculation for analysis period (AP), for analysis horizon (AH), and for each analysis time interval If the option has been selected, the emissions are calculated dynamically, accordingly for analysis period, analysis horizon, and for each existing analysis time interval. Tip In the Links and Territories lists, emission values can then be displayed for each analysis interval. Note If you use the attribute Volume Capacity Ratio PrT to determine the LOS, the LOS is calculated separately per analysis time interval. In this case, however, the value for AP and AH is not significant, because the Volume Capacity Ratio PrT(AP) is the quotient of the Volume(AP) and the Capacity. The capacity relates to one hour while AP usually takes more than an hour, so that the Volume Capacity Ratio PrT(AP) is strongly inflated and LOS 4 will almost always be set. If this option has been selected, cold start excess emissions are calculated. Cold start parameters Use the list to select a parameter, which specifies the average temperature, the dwell time distribution and the travel time distribution for the cold start.
