Ideas that could help City of Milan
- High-Precision PM Compliance Screener
A roadside monitoring service using Point Sampling (PS) technology to identify high-emitting vehicles, specifically targeting the most significant contributors to urban particulate matter. The system focuses on high-precision detection of PM2.5 to isolate 'super-emitters' that bypass standard sensors.
Why it helps: Can use high-precision screening to refine Low Emission Zone (LEZ) policies based on actual PN and BC contributions rather than just NOx [1].
- High-Precision PM Compliance Screening Station
A curbside emission monitoring station using Point Sampling (PS) technology to accurately identify high-emitters of particulate matter (PM) and black carbon in real-time.
Why it helps: Can use high-precision screening to refine Low Emission Zones (LEZ) and target specific high-polluting vehicle classes identified by plume regression.
