42. For example, societal change toward the reduction in demand for unsustainable travel could see modal shift through the uptake of active travel or public transport (with less reliance on single occupancy private car use) to help reduce climate and air quality related emissions. Promoting active travel will also improve health and wellbeing.

69. Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) refers to transport systems where there is a wireless data exchange between two or more ITS sub-systems (personal, vehicle, roadside and central) which will support a number of information, warning and assistance services which will be gradually deployed during the oncoming years.
70. Detailed and tailored traffic and air quality data collection exercises between 2017 and 2020 in Scotland's four major cities have underpinned the development of the NMF. The NMF provides a two-tiered standardised approach to modelling air quality at both local and regional levels using a nationally consistent methodology. The city models inform LEZ design decision making, whilst the regional model offers an air quality assessment-based tool within and across neighbouring local authority areas associated with large-scale planned developments.

75. It is worth noting the cautionary tone offered by the Air Quality Expert Group (AQEG) around NEE data, where they state that: "Quantitative data on the magnitude of non-exhaust emissions are sparse and highly uncertain…NEE emission factors used in inventories have a wide span of uncertainty – greater than a factor of two is typical – including considerable uncertainty in splits between PM10 and PM2.5 size fractions. The emission factors are also largely based on data from the 1990s and have not evolved as vehicle designs and fleet composition have changed, in contrast to the regularly updated factors used for exhaust emissions."
76. To place these figures into context, the NEE emission represent 7.4% and 8.5% respectively for all UK primary PM2.5 and PM10 emissions.
