The Zoom City Carbon Model - ZCCM is a multi-layered, bottom-up approach for mapping and quantifying the total CO2 emissions in a city at high spatial and temporal resolutions, down to 100-meter grids or street level, and sectorial resolution. The model identifies major CO2 emitters and sinks, such as road traffic vehicles, building energy consumption, human respiration, and vegetation/soils, and estimates their emission patterns and changes over time.

This Emission Geographic Information platform is designed to communicate the outcomes of the {ZCCM} to users, stakeholders, the research community, and the public in general. It enables the visualization of zoom CO2 maps and summary statistics of emissions in an interactive way.

This Flexdashboard R leverages road traffic estimates from the ZCCM::traffic model https://github.com/ByMaxAnjos/CO2-traffic-emissions to showcase the spatio-temporal variability of CO2 emissions at the city level. With this tool, users can explore detailed street-level emissions, emissions associated with Open Street Map features, and temporal patterns such as hourly time series, daily cycles, and monthly totals.
