The ITS/NTIA (Institute for Telecommunication Sciences/National Telecommunications and Information Administration) has developed a general video quality model (VQM) [1] that was selected by both ANSI and ITU as a video quality assessment standard based on its performance.
Shortly, the exposure metrics used in this paper proved both sensitive and specific for asbestos but less so for PAH, compared with a gold standard based on a detailed expert assessment based on all available data.
@Guess11: Following industry standard, we based our assessment of the use-phase on the "New European Driving Cycle", which includes a typical share of stop-start.
