Enhancing multi-mode transport emission inventories: combining open-source data with traditional approaches

The primary goal of this dataset is to enhance the spatial and temporal distribution of emissions from civil aviation (NFR1.A.3.a), road transport (NFR1.A.3.b), railways (NFR1.A.3.c), and military aviation (NFR1.A.5), using Portugal as case study. For more information, please refer to the published article “Enhancing multi-mode transport emission inventories: combining open-source data with traditional approaches” (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.uclim.2024.102097). This dataset contains the following folders and files:

1. Spatial_Location

 1.1. NFR1_A_3_a.gdb: Geodatabase containing the locations of Portuguese airports and aerodromes.

 1.2. NFR1_A_3_b.gdb: Geodatabase containing the locations of Portuguese roads.

 1.3 NFR1_A_3_c.gdb: Geodatabase containing non-electrified Portuguese railways and train station locations.

 1.4 NFR1_A_5.gdb: Geodatabase containing the locations of Portuguese military airport facilities.

2. Temporal_Profiles

 2.1. Daily

  2.1.1. Daily_NFR1_A_3_a.csv: This csv file contains the daily movements profiles of civil aviation sites in Portugal.

 2.2. Hourly

  2.2.1. Hourly_NFR1_A_3_b.txt: This txt file contains the hourly road traffic volume profiles for the road transport activities in Portugal at different locations (BigAir column).

  2.2.2. Hourly_NFR1_A_3_c.txt: This text file contains the hourly railway profile in Portugal, categorized by line and train station.

3. Emission_Factors

 3.1. EF_NFR1_A_3_a.xlsx: This Excel file contains emission factors for civil aviation activities, categorized by technology, flight phase, fuel, and pollutant. Additionally, it includes information about engines and aircraft.

 3.2. EF_NFR1_A_3_b.xlsx: This Excel file contains emission factors for road transport activities, categorized by vehicle type, technology, fuel, abatement, and pollutant. Emission factors for road resuspension are not provided because the papers using this dataset are still under review.

 3.3. EF_NFR1_A_3_c.xlsx: This Excel file contains emission factors for railways activities, categorized by technology, fuel, and pollutant.

 3.4. EF_NFR1_A_5.xlsx: This Excel file contains emission factors for military aviation activities, categorized by fuel, and pollutant.

4. Other_Info

 4.1 NFR1_A_3_b: This folder contains information organized by road segments, including fuel consumption (in the “FuelConsumption” folder), hourly meteorology (in the “Meteorology” folder), population data (in the “Population” folder), daily traffic volume (in the “TrafficVolume” folder), vehicle categories (in the “VehicleCategory” folder), and vehicle classes (in the “VehicleClasses” folder). Additionally, it includes the link between road traffic volume measurement points and the Portuguese road network (in the “sensorsVSroads” folder)
