Hello everyone,

Recently,I read paper published “Towards high-resolution first-best air pollution toll An evaluation of regulatory policies and a discussion on long-term user reactions”.Combining my own rearch, I plan to do this rearch in China city. In the paper,the "Emission Cost Module" is improved the way to internalization.When I read this part of the paper many times, but I still can not understood how it should be used.

I have a few questions to ask you， hope to get your advice.

Question 1:Is "Emission Cost Module" a Java Package like "Emission" or "Roadpricing" in MATSim ? or A Module in config file?

Question 2:Where should I go to download "Emission Cost Module"?

Question 3:Can you tell me the specific steps to internalize the air pollution? Is there such a case on the Internet to share？

Thank you!

Dear Cui Yi,

I have tried to answer part of this question to your previous question (https://matsim.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CQ/customcontent/279707662).

Answer to your specific questions:

Answer 1: no, it is neither a package nor a contrib. The name sounds a bit ambiguous, however, it simply combines cold and warm emission handlers to convert emissions (in g) to monetary units (toll values) using emission cost factors.

Answer 2: Unfortunately, this is not yet available via a contrib. Good news is that you can still get it using packagecloud (https://packagecloud.io/matsim-vsp/vsp-playgrounds/). Alternatively, plugging it directly to your project's pom, see the steps at https://github.com/matsim-vsp/vsp-playgrounds/blob/master/README.md

You would only need vsp playground.

Answer 3: I have answered this question at https://matsim.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CQ/customcontent/279707662. Again, internalization classes are available in 'vsp' playground.

Best regards,

Amit
