Demonstrator of a Cost/Utility Function Taking Activity-based Information into Account

Partner in charge: University of Hasselt
The report presents details of the integrated behaviour simulator especially in relation with their cost/utility function to address the type of policies/interventions it can assess. These policies are selected on the basis of earlier relevant deliverables where a comprehensive review is provided about their effectiveness in relation to air quality and also considering their relevance with the mobility situations within iSCAPE cities. Within these policies, some aggregated outputs of the implementation of specific scenarios, such as restricting car access in core city areas and enhancement of public transport infrastructure, parking regulations and telecommuting, are presented to demonstrate the capabilities of the behavioural simulator. The obtained results are found plausible and provide important inputs to be used in emission and air quality dispersion models for assessing impacts related to improvement of air quality and exposure assessment.

Detailed report based on numerical simulation of the effect of passive control systems at the urban level

Partner in charge: TU Dortmund University
Contributing partners: Finnish Meteorological Institute, University College Dublin, University of Bologna, University of Surrey

This report is the output of the work carried out on infrastructure interventions at neighbourhood level by investigating the effect of proposed infrastructural solution at city scale on both air quality and urban heat island (UHI). The work is grounded from recent research showing that separating areas of densely built-up neighbourhoods with vegetation or barriers from outskirts with low density and low height buildings will improve ventilation and therefore reduce concentration of airborne pollutants and UHI. In this task this is done in each neighbourhood selected representing different morphology and microclimate therefore this report is based on numerical simulations of the effect of PCSs at the urban level use in other cities in Europe. As such, this document reports the results of numerical simulations carried out in selected iSCAPE cities to document and analyse the effectiveness of various PCSs in reducing air pollution and improving urban thermal comfort.

Prototype of a fully integrated behavioural (data-driven) simulator

Partner in charge: University of Hasselt

The focus of this deliverable is mainly to briefly describe the prototype behavioural simulation model and the results obtained by performing those simulations with a few policy scenarios for the three iSCAPE cities. It has been found that policies in relation to restricting car traffic are more effective in terms of reducing traffic from the network and also shifting of car drivers/passenger to other modes of travel. The enhancement of bus infrastructure in relation to increasing the frequency of bus routes and also tweaking activity start time (changing open and end times) are not able to significantly reduce car traffic. Especially, improvement of bus infrastructure causing shifting of bicyclist towards public transport, which is an undesirable result of the policy.

Following a thorough validation of all numerical models used in present scenarios, simulations have been conducted using downscaled climate projections for the three cities. Changes in air quality in future climate have been documented for several policy options allowing to extract recommendations for the selected cities and easily extendable to other European cities.

Detailed report on local meteorological conditions

Partner in charge: Finnish Meteorological Institute,
Contributing partners: University of Bologna, Regional Agency for Prevention, Environment and Energy of Emilia-Romagna

This report documents findings from the iSCAPE Task “Simulation of Climate Change in test case EU Cities”. The report includes climate projections for all iSCAPE target cities: Bologna, Bottrop, Dublin, Guilford, Hasselt and Vantaa. The magnitudes of climatic changes in the six cities by the year 2050 were derived from a large number of climate model simulations. An atmosphere-surface interaction module was then used to study climatic impacts of a “Passive Control System” (PCS) intervention in one of the cities, Vantaa, in the current climate and in a projected future climate. The intervention consisted of increasing the fraction of green spaces and relatively sparsely built suburban-type land use at the expense of more densely built commercial and industrial areas.
