Methods to estimate vehicular characteristics in Indian cities

Abstract

This article presents a methodology to estimate characteristics of vehicular fleets, focusing on the case of cars in Indian cities. It uses data from fuel station surveys, pollution under control (PUC) database, and vehicle registration data. The methodology estimates the number of in-use vehicles, fuel efficiency, annual mileage, and age distribution of vehicles. The results are used to estimate the current and future transport emissions in Indian cities. – AI-generated abstract.
