Work Packages and tasks
WP1: Project coordination and management
The main objective of WP1 is to continuously carry out review of the project progress in the scientific-technical and innovative, administrative, and legal-financial areas and the dissemination of the project achievements. This also includes among others the following special tasks:
- Administrative management and KPI reporting
- Technical and scientific coordination
- Quality, legal, risk & green management
WP2: State of art study, NEE characterisation & less-polluting designs
Its objectives are:
- A deep study of the potential effects of NEEVE results on the European Union's regulations, business, and policy
- State of Art analysis of current techniques for exhaust and non-exhaust measurement as well as new protocols and methodologies to enable accurate real-time measuring of NEE
- Design of a first prototype for real-time vehicle on-board measuring of NEE based and performing operation tests on a chassis dyno test bench.
- Investigate all different parameters that may affect particulate emissions from pavements in order to design a solution to improve conventional alternatives related to road NEE
- Design an innovative solution reducing NEE from brake pads/discs
- Study design of tyres for reducing particle emissions considering interactions of wear and NEE properties, as well as other functional properties (e.g., skid, rolling resistance, noise)
WP3: Development of innovative technologies to monitor and reduce NEE
Objectives are:
- Develop a functional module for real-time vehicle on-board measurement of NEE
- Produce new asphalt mixtures to create less polluting pavements by reducing wear and particle emissions
- Manufacture novel brake pads/discs to reduce NEE and environmental impact
- Study whether innovative tyres can reduce NEE without sacrificing other major performance
- Test a selection of tyres on the market to determine how much they differ in rubber wear and NEE and whether it seems meaningful to introduce a tyre tread wear label in the EU
- Determine the impact of NEE on human health with novel organoids
- Model the dispersion patterns and climate impact of the NEE in urban areas
WP4: Deployment & demonstration in controlled pilots and real-world scenarios
Objectives:
- Optimize NEE measuring operation and performance under real-world conditions for varying vehicle types.
- Installation and adjustment of the onboard module for the measurement of NEE, as well as novel brake pads/discs and tyres in 3 types of commercial vehicles in real conditions
- Deployment and validation of novel pavements and asphalt mixture for lower NEE in real scenarios.
- Demonstration and validation of the performance of onboard measuring modules, novel lower-NEE brakes, tyres and pavements for monitoring and reducing NEE in real driving.
WP5: Monitoring of KPI indicators and evaluation of the LIFE NEEVE impact
Objectives are:
- Specify and develop common methodology to monitor key performance indicators (KPIs).
- Assess the technical, environmental, social and economic impact of the project.
WP6: Replication, sustainability and exploitation of the LIFE NEEVE results
Objectives are:
- Implement and develop an effective communication and dissemination strategy to increase the awareness about measurement and reduction of non-exhaust emissions.
- Develop the protection and exploitation of intellectual property rights (IPR) and knowledge generated by NEEVE innovations.
- Assure that project outcomes are widely implemented, sustainable, and transferable to other road transport sectors and EU locations.
- Develop (individual and collaborative) successful business plans of NEEVE solutions to quicken uptake into worldwide markets.
