Abstract
In Europe there have been many cooperative studies into transport
emission inventories since the late 80s. These cover the scope of
CORINAIR program involving experts from seven European Community
laboratories addressing only road transport emissions at national
level. These also include the latest COST 319 action bringing
together about 80 active scientists from the whole of Europe and
considering all modes of transport and all inventory levels. The
paper briefly presents the history of the various multilateral and
EC initiatives and discusses the latest in more detail, from the
collection of the raw data to the design of the inventory tools.
The paper also considers the structures and the main assumptions
of the current inventory methods for the various transport modes
and various areas of application, including reference to work
currently in progress or planned for the near future. Topics
covered are the composition of the vehicle fleets, emission
factors, driving statistics and the modeling approach. Many of the
European initiatives aim also at promoting further cooperation
between national laboratories and at defining future research
needs. An assessment of these future needs is presented from a
European point of view.
