mobility of all road vehicles passing the road section during the weather event. The length of the road section is 10.4 km. The functional unit thus includes the use the WRM vehicle (fuel consumption and related emissions) which conducts gritting (consumption of road salt) and when necessary the simultaneous plowing (the latter in case the baseline WRM operation scenario, when snow is assumed to accumulate on the road surface), as well as road traffic passing the road section during the weather event (fuel consumption and related emissions). Mobility of passenger vehicles and trucks, or disturbance in their mobility, has a direct impact on emissions to the environment.
