MIT researchers measure traffic emissions, to the block, in real-time

MIT researchers map traffic emissions block by block in near real time

MIT researchers have published a new system for estimating vehicle emissions at block-level resolution using traffic cameras and anonymized mobile data. The Manhattan-tested approach, published April 2 in Nature Sustainability, found congestion pricing cut traffic volumes about 10% and emissions 16% to 22% eight weeks after launch.
