KS1144 Green InterTraffic

Enhancing environmental safety of road Intertraffic in the border areas of Russia and Finland applying innovation solutions

The project developed of the solutions to reduce emissions and pollution and promoting cross-border cooperation aiming at reducing the environmental load and risks related to increasing traffic by improving the environmental safety of international transportation (Intertraffic) to ensure effective, sustainable, and balanced development.

Within the framework of the Green InterTraffic project, Russian and Finnish partners have developed a unified approach to calculate greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants from vehicles using different types of fuel and energy. The project implemented the four seasons thermal mapping measurement of the road E-18 and built the temperature profile of the road and forecast weather conditions along the road E-18. Air quality measurements were made with Vaisala’s innovative AQT sensors and based on the results, Air Quality Survey of the road E18 between Helsinki and Saint Petersburg -report was concluded, complemented with the report on the Health Risk Assessment of Human Exposure to Ambient Air Chemical Emissions from Scandinavia Highway Traffic. In addition, the project created the Road Pollution Assessment Methods and Environmental Load Reduction Approaches -training course for distance learning.
