This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 12 August 2019 for provisional application.

The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to
submit their comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.

CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS
available promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in
parallel to the CEN/TS) until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,

European foreword
This document (CEN/TS 17378:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 278
“Intelligent transport systems”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,
Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of
North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United

Introduction
Work on Urban ITS (U-ITS) is founded in the deliverable of PT1701 published as TR 17143 [1] and on the
European Commission Decision of 12.6.2016 [2] in support of Directive 2010/40/EU [9].
As cities and urban complexes expand, and there is a significant trend from rural areas to cities around
the world, pollution in these urban areas becomes an ever more significant problem. Traffic - vehicle
movements within the urban complex - is not the only polluter, but is considered to be a major source of
pollution. Other causes are air conditioning/central heating systems, coal and wood burning heating,
factories, etc.
“Air pollution has a major impact on human health. It is associated with a range of deadly diseases including
cancer, heart disease, strokes and asthma, and is the number one environmental cause of death in the EU,
responsible for more than 430,000 early deaths in 2012 alone.” [11]
“More than one fifth of the EU urban population are exposed to air pollution which exceeds EU limit values.
As of 2013, exceedances of the PM10 daily limit value were registered in 22 EU Member States, while 19
remained in breach of limits for NO2. In theory, citizens in all those countries could go to court to demand
that action is taken. In reality, national rules and procedures often make it very difficult for them to do so.”
EU law provides citizens with some possible solutions to these difficulties, by guaranteeing them rights to
certain procedures. Domestic courts are obliged to give effect to EU law, even if this involves setting aside
incompatible national laws. Domestic courts must give effect to EU law rights by providing effective
remedies.” [12]
This document provides guidance and identifies requirements and options on how to set up a policy and
how to deploy reliable and scalable technologies to monitor air quality on continuous or regular basis
and to react with adequate measures. This provides a means to measure the air quality required by
relevant EU directives.
The most recent directive relating to ambient (outdoor) air quality is the DIRECTIVE 2008/50/EC of 21
May 2008 on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe (the “Directive”), which was adopted in 2008
[13], and requires member states to:
— Monitor and assess air quality to ensure that it meets these objectives;
— Report to the Commission and the public on the results of this monitoring and assessment;
— Prepare and implement air quality plans containing measures to achieve the objectives.
This specification provides a means for urban administrations to demonstrate their progress to, and
achievement of, EC required air quality.
1 Scope
This document provides information, guidance and specifications of requirements and options on how to
set up an air quality (emissions) management policy, and how to deploy reliable and scalable technologies
to monitor air quality on a continuous or regular basis, and to react with adequate measures.
This document defines technological concepts that provide reliable and open data, and defines the
functional requirements on measurement devices that produce such data. This provides a means to
measure the air quality required by relevant EU directives.
This document provides information and specifications enabling to specify air quality levels for triggering
a scenario.
Specifically, this specification provides a toolkit of parameters and data definitions that a regulator can
use to e.g.
— define proper air quality measures, suitable for a street, zone or the whole city
— inform a driver in advance of entry to a Controlled zone about air quality level and related policy
measures expected to be in operation at a given time, e.g. higher parking price per location due to the
adverse air quality; and of the time windows of the measure operation of the controlled zone
— inform the relevant city departments on the introduced measure, air quality levels and number of
vehicles entered.
In order to maximize European harmonization, it is recommended that this specification is used in
combination with a module of standardized data concepts, i.e. an “air quality management data
dictionary” (AQMDD), however, this version of this document, which is focussed on policies and
procedures, does not provide these data concept specifications.
