Calculate total AP exposure per person based on population and personal travel

Usage

scenario_pm_calculations(dist, trip_scen_sets)

Arguments

dist

total distance travelled by mode by the population for all scenarios

trip_scen_sets

trips data frame of all trips from all scenarios

Value

background PM concentration for baseline and all scenarios

total AP exposure per person in the baseline population (for baseline and scenarios)

Details

This function performs the following steps:

  • the exposure factor rates by activity are defined - these parameters are fixed

  • calculate pm concentration not related to transport

  • calculate PM emission factors for each mode by dividing total emissions by distances travelled

  • calculate PM emissions for each mode in each scenario by multiplying the scenario distance by the emission factors

  • for modes without any assigned distance, use the PM emissions from the VEHICLE_INVENTORY instead

  • calculate the total PM concentrations for each scenario

  • add exposure factors to the trip set by stage mode

  • add total scenario PM concentrations to the trip set

  • calculate ventilation rate for each stage taking into account demographic characteristics and exposure factors

  • calculate the inhaled air and total PM (in micro grams) in the trip set

  • calculate the amount of time per day spent in sleep, moderate and vigorous activities

  • add total time spent travelling by each participant to the trip set

  • calculate ventilation rate for sleep, moderate and vigorous activities

  • for each participant in the baseline population (with travel component), calculate the total air inhaled, the total PM inhaled and the total PM concentration inhaled for each scenario

  • assign all participants in the baseline population without travel component, the baseline or scenario PM concentrations

  • join all people with and without travel in the baseline population
