  abstract = {{T}raffic source emission inventories for the rapidly growing {W}est {A}frican urban cities are necessary for better characterization of local vehicle emissions released into the atmosphere of these cities. {T}his study is based on local field measurements in {Y}opougon ({A}bidjan, {C}ote d'{I}voire) in 2016; a site representative of anthropogenic activities in {W}est {A}frican cities. {T}he measurements provided data on vehicle type and age, traveling time, fuel type, and estimated amount of fuel consumption. {T}he data revealed high traffic flow of personal cars on highways, boulevards, and backstreets, whereas high flows of intra-communal sedan taxis were observed on main and secondary roads. {I}n addition, the highest daily fuel consumption value of 56 {L}.day(-1) was recorded for heavy vehicles, while the lowest value of 15 {L}.day(-1) was recorded for personal cars using gasoline. {T}his study is important for the improvement of uncertainties related to the different databases used to estimate emissions either in national or international reports. {T}his work provides useful information for future studies on urban air quality, climate, and health impact assessments in {A}frican cities. {I}t may also be useful for policy makers to support implementation of emission reduction policies in {W}est {A}frican cities.},
