      abstract     = {This thesis aims to answer the research question of how
                      alternative fuels and powertrains can reduce nitrogen oxide
                      (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) emissions in hotspots. The
                      thesis proposes a new spatial bottom-up model that computes
                      mileages and local pollutants of road transport, inland
                      waterway transport, rail transport and air transport for
                      North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) as representative case study.
                      The model is organised in sub-modules. For instance, one
                      module determines mileages and transport performances for
                      each section of the transport networks using timetables,
                      flight schedules, data from the Federal Statistical Office
                      and a developed statistical model. Another module calculates
                      emissions on each network section taking different vehicle
                      classes, vehicle sizes, emission technologies, powertrains
                      and fuels into account. Finally, a novel module balances
                      emissions in urban areas for a following analysis. Besides
                      the calculation of current emissions, several scenarios for
                      future developments of the transport sector and their
                      emissions were considered in the case study. Boundary
                      conditions for future scenarios were set using forecasts of
                      traffic performances for inland waterway transport and air
                      transport, a developed model approach for forecasting road
                      transport mileages, and devised approaches for determining
                      fleet developments. The assumption for the reference
                      scenarios was the continuation of using conventional fuels.
                      The other tested scenarios included various alternative fuel
                      options and powertrains, which were selected based on a
                      novel methodology for selecting promising future fuel
                      options. More specifically, the fuel options for road
                      transport were Fischer-Tropsch diesel/ hydrogenated
                      vegetable oil, Methanol to Gasoline, natural gas, dimethyl
                      ether, hydrogen in fuel cells and electric power. Meanwhile,
                      the fuel options for inland waterway transport were natural
                      gas as well as hydrogen in fuel cells and internal
                      combustion engines and for avitation the fuel option was
                      Fischer-Tropsch kerosene. These and the reference scenarios
                      were simulated with the proposed model. The result of the
                      case study was that the urban areas of Aachen and Wuppertal
                      as well as urban areas in Rhine and Ruhr regions are the
                      most critical current emission hotspots in North Rhine-
                      Westphalia. Road transport currently accounts for the
                      largest share of pollutants emitted in emission hotspots.
                      Inland navigation shows moderately high shares in current
                      NOx and PM2.5 emissions in the vicinity of the Rhine, while
                      rail transport is only responsible for larger shares of the
                      less harmful PM10 emissions due to abrasion. Air transport
                      only produces a moderately high share of emissions in the
                      vicinity of the international airport Düsseldorf. The
                      results of this work already show a strong and respectively
                      moderate reduction in combustionrelated emissions from road
                      and inland waterway transport for further utilization of
                      conventional fuels, whereas those from air transport
                      increase slightly. Overall, this will lead to a future
                      easing of NOx emissions away from the Rhine region and the
                      airports of Cologne and Düsseldorf. Furthermore, the share
                      and significance of abrasion-related PM emissions will
                      increase strongly in the future. In the short term, the with
                      existing vehicles compatible drop-in fuels Fischer-Tropsch
                      diesel and Fischer-Tropsch kerosene have a high reduction
                      potential. However, it will be mandatory to switch to
                      hydrogen- or electricity-based powertrains in the long term
                      for larger emission reductions. When discussing these
                      results, it became clear, that the low technology readiness
                      level of alternative low emission propulsion systems for
                      inland waterway transport and air transport is critical.
                      Moreover, guidelines for abrasion emissions are needed to
                      encourage the state of research on these. It is still an
                      open question how a large market share of electric vehicles
                      will affect local abrasion emissions. In conclusion, the
                      results of this work are a robust basis for devising
                      strategies for air pollution control in current emission
                      hotspots and a further criterion for the selection of
                      promising future fuels and powertrains.},
