Imagine trying to count only the hard grains of sand in a mixture of sand and water droplets; current tools often confuse the two. This project builds a high-tech 'filter' that strips away the droplets so we can accurately count the solid soot particles from cars and planes. It helps cities see exactly which vehicles are polluting the air in real-time.
Current air quality sensors cannot accurately distinguish between solid soot and volatile particles in real-world traffic, making it hard to prove compliance with emission laws.
Low-power catalytic strippers for aerosol measurement and a mitigating solution Toolbox for data analysis and management.
If you are a vehicle manufacturer dealing with the strict requirements of the upcoming Euro 7 legislation — this project developed advanced catalytic strippers that provide accurate measurement of solid particle emissions. This allows for precise calibration of exhaust systems to meet new legal standards.
If you are a sensor company dealing with measurement artifacts in urban environments — this project developed next-generation aerosol measurement technologies. These tools distinguish solid from semi-volatile particles with high accuracy for deployment in city monitoring stations.
If you are a city authority dealing with high human exposure to transport emissions — this project developed a mitigating solution Toolbox and urban exposure mapping. This helps in creating data-driven traffic management strategies to reduce health risks.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures for the catalytic strippers and monitoring devices are not provided.
The project focuses on developing both compact field-ready units and high-resolution laboratory devices, indicating a path toward scalable deployment in European cities.
Based on available project data, there are no specific details regarding patents or licensing agreements for the aerosol measurement technologies.
The project directly supports the upcoming Euro 7 legislation and the European Green Deal's zero pollution targets by providing more accurate emission data.
The project is active from 2024-01-01 to 2027-12-31, with deployment and calibration in European cities as a core pillar.
The consortium is highly diversified with 26 partners across 11 countries, showing strong international cooperation. It maintains a healthy industry ratio of 27%, including 7 industrial partners and 6 SMEs, which suggests a strong focus on commercial viability and practical application alongside the 11 universities and 7 research centers.
