Ad exemplum
: regarding environmental and energy impacts of the parking system information, calculations of energy reductions were made on the basis of an average
speed of 30 km/h. All 'searching' traffic is car. 20% of all cars are equipped with catalytic exhaust purifiers. Based on this the reduction in energy consumption will
be 3,521 MJ or 971 L of petrol daily. On an annual basis this is 980,000 MJ or 29,400 L of petrol. The equivalent reductions in emissions on an annual basis are:
CO
2
: 7 t, NO
x
: 0.5 t, CO: 7.7 t, HC: 0.57 t, particles 5 kg. This reduction equals approximately 0.3% of the total annual emissions from traffic in Aalborg City.
