Abstract

Abstract

This study developed a 1-km resolution emission inventory for Shanghai's vehicle sector in 2023， conducting detailed vehicle-type source analysis and high-resolution spatiotemporal analysis of vehicular air pollutant emissions. In 2023， Shanghai's vehicle emissions of carbon monoxide （CO）， hydrocarbons （HC）， nitrogen oxides （NO_x ）， and fine particulate matter （PM_2.5） were 103143 tons， 25301 tons， 89428 tons， and 1191 tons， respectively. CO and HC emissions were primarily from small passenger cars， contributing 71.3% and 75.4%， respectively， while NO_x and PM_2.5 emissions were mainly from heavy-duty trucks， contributing 77.5% and 57.6%， respectively. Temporal variations showed seasonal differences， with peak emissions in winter， significantly higher weekday emissions compared to weekends， and a bimodal daily emission pattern with morning and evening peaks. Spatially， vehicle pollutant emissions exhibited distinct patterns closely coupled with ring road structures， road types， and land functions. The central urban area， dominated by passenger cars， had the highest CO and HC emission intensities， decreasing with distance. In contrast， NO_x and PM_2.5 emissions were highest from the outer ring to suburban areas due to concentrated freight transport. Main roads were the primary emission sources， with gasoline vehicles contributing mainly to CO and HC， and diesel trucks contributing to NO_x and PM_2.5 on expressways. Emission hotspots were identified at road intersections and logistics nodes， reflecting the decisive impact of traffic structure and vehicle types on pollution distribution.
