CADTIME aims to understand what is required to deliver significant reductions in levels of air pollution, within the confines of factors which are under our control, through affordable, effective interventions that consider and respond to future changes.

In order to achieve the global aim, a number of objectives have been identified. These are being delivered through an integrated work task structure, described on these pages.

Objectives

1. Identify key emission sources, emission trends and current scenario analysis using outputs, both from CADTIME, and sister APHH projects.
2. Identify key factors controlling urban air quality legislation/policies/standards.
3. Develop and validate an effective and efficient air quality modelling system for hot spot, local and regional pollution problems integrated with modelling from the PROMOTE project.
4. Design and quantify impacts of interventions for mitigating air pollution in Indian Megacity Delhi for current, medium-term (2030) and long-term (2050) horizons.
5. Compile a range of potential practical interventions with stakeholders through the DELPHI methodology, employing both forecasting and backcasting approaches to develop an air pollution management pathway; and create a prioritised shortlist of robust solutions with quantified impacts.
6. Evaluate the reduction in pollution achievable by recommended interventions to 2050.
7. Interact with, and integrate research outputs from, our sister APHH projects.
