===== Methodology =====
==== Activity data ====
Abrasive emissions from tyre and brake wear are estimated based on vehicle-type specific mileage data. For detailed mileage data, please see [[sector:energy:fuel_combustion:transport:road_transport:abrasive_emissions_from_road_vehicles:start | superordinate chapter ]] on abrasive emissions from road vehicles.

===== Discussion of emission trends =====
__Table 2: Outcome of Key Category Analysis__
| for: ^ TSP ^ PM10 ^ PM2.5 ^
| by: | Level | Level | Level |
Emissions from road abrasion are directly linked to driven mileage. Thus, the overall trend of emissions from road abrasion is similar to the trend for total driven mileage.
All reported emissons from tyre and brake wear are connected directly to the mileage driven by the road vehicles covered.

===== Recalculations =====
Compared to last year's submission, emission estimates have been revised due to updated mileage data (see super-ordinate chapter).
