Speech Title: Data-Driven Traffic Emission Analytic Platform for Chengdu City

Abstract: In recent years, China's regional atmospheric environmental problems have become increasingly prominent. It has become an important national strategy to control urban traffic pollution emissions and improve air quality. The construction of traffic emission big data analysis platform can realize low-cost real-time analysis and visualization of traffic emission data. It can also evaluate the environment and energy-saving benefits of traffic planning and decision-making, guide popular low-carbon travel, effectively promote the specific implementation of intelligent traffic management policy, eliminate the data barrier of industrial docking, promote the development of green transportation industry chain, revitalize the upstream and downstream resources of related industries, and bring new vitality to a city’s economy. Based on the data resources related to traffic emissions in Chengdu, this study constructed the basic framework and algorithm of the traffic emission big data analysis platform, and proposed the traceability analysis of traffic pollution emissions on road sections, that is, based on the road section emission prediction model, through big data analysis to locate possible high pollution road sections or regions, and dynamically analyze the formation, transmission and diffusion of traffic pollution emissions. On the basis of judging the formation of high pollution, this study further analyzes the causes and trends of high pollution, and provides a reliable basis for management decisions such as environmental accountability, punishment and rectification. Finally, from the perspectives of government, enterprises and publics, this study discusses the construction of ecological chain system of related data application.
