Abstract:
Vehicle emission factors (EFs) are important factors affecting tunnel environments. In this study, field tests were conducted in an expressway tunnel in southwest China. The percentage of heavyduty vehicles (HDVs) was approximately 38 %. The NOx concentrations exceeded the safety thresholds. The average CO, NOx, and PM2.5 EFs of the mixed fleet were 1.25, 2.68, and 0.079 g/ km veh- 1, respectively. The NOx and PM2.5 EFs of the HDV were 31.3 and 14.7 times higher than those of the light-duty vehicle (LDV), respectively. HDVs contributed 61.5 % to CO, 94.8 % to NOx, and 89.3 % to PM2.5 emissions in this investigation. When compared to previous studies, a significant reduction in CO and PM was observed, but NOx remained at a high level. Stricter policies are needed to control the emissions of HDVs, and the ventilation of tunnels must consider the NOx concentration.
