This has been mainly due to reductions in emissions from road transport and public power generation. ● Road transport is the largest source of NOx emissions in the UK, contributing 49% of total emissions in 2000.

Due to the inherent discrete nature of sensing, interpolation is a key activity in sensing. Interpolation in urban computing faces an unprecedented inference issue that was not present in large scale traditional sensing environments. Obstacles such as buildings and walls are prevalent in urban sensing, and it is important to consider them in urban sensing interpolation. This paper introduces an...
