PD CEN/TS 17378:2019

What is PD CEN/TS 17378 -Intelligent transport systems– Urban ITS about?  

PD CEN/TS 17378 provides information, guidance and specifications of requirements and options on how to set up an air quality (emissions) management policy, and how to deploy reliable and scalable technologies to monitor air quality on a continuous or regular basis, and to react with adequate measures. 

PD CEN/TS 17378 defines technological concepts that provide reliable and open data and defines the functional requirements on measurement devices that produce such data. This provides a means to measure the air quality required by relevant EU directives. PD CEN/TS 17378 provides information and specifications enabling to specify air quality levels for triggering a scenario. 

PD CEN/TS 17378 guidelines provide a toolkit of parameters and data definitions that a regulator can use to e.g., 

• Define proper air quality measures, suitable for a street, zone, or the whole city 
• Inform a driver in advance of entry to a Controlled zone about air quality level and related policy 
• Measures expected to be in operation at a given time, e.g., higher parking price per location due to the adverse air quality and of the time windows of the measure operation of the controlled zone 
• Inform the relevant city departments on the introduced measure, air quality levels and the number of vehicles entered. 

Who is CEN/TS 17378 -Intelligent transport systems– Urban ITS for? 

PD CEN/TS 17378  on intelligent transport systems– Urban ITS is useful for: 

• Air quality tracker organization 
• Vehicle pollution tracker  
• Air quality purifier devices manufacturing companies 

Why should you use CEN/TS 17378 -Intelligent transport systems– Urban ITS?  

PD CEN/TS 17378 provides beneficial guidance to the users regarding the required policy and the ways to deploy reliable and scalable technologies to seamlessly assess the air quality on continuous or regular basis.  

PD CEN/TS 17378 also provides a means to measure the air quality required by relevant EU directives. PD CEN/TS 17378 specification provides a means for urban administrations to demonstrate their progress to, and achievement of, EC required air quality.
