abstract = {One of the major requirements of air quality management for
a particular region or country is to understand the sources
of emissions, particularly those from the dominant sectors.
The on-road transport sector is one of the most important
sources of pollutant emissions, as it is directly linked to
economic growth, and the current study focuses on India, a
nation that is currently experiencing very rapid
development. In view of this, the present work develops an
inventory of on-road vehicular emissions at 0.5° × 0.5°
resolution (approx. 55 km) for a region in India, where a
technologically-based dynamic emissions factor method has
been used to for the last 20 years. This new inventory can
not only provide improved estimates of emissions in recent
years but also highlight the relative contribution of
various vehicles, based on age, to the total emissions
produced by the transport sector. In addition, inventories
of the major air pollutants for on-road vehicles in India
are developed for the base year of 2009 for the first time
in this work. The total emissions from the transport sector
are estimated to be 5.4 Tg/yr for NOx, 10.2 Tg for CO, 693.3
Gg/yr for PM and 5.54 Tg/yr for VOC, 240,000 kilometers of
national, state and major highways in India are used to
achieve a better spatial allocation of gridded on-road
emissions, along with a vehicular density map in a GIS
environment. The emissions data presented in this work will
not only help in improving the simulated distribution of air
pollutants in chemical transport models, but can also be
used for air quality management in planning related
mitigation strategies.},
