Mitigating traffic congestion on urban roads, with paramount importance in urban development and reduction of energy consumption and air pollution, depends on our ability to foresee road usage and traffic conditions pertaining to the collective behavior of drivers, raising a significant question: to what...
the transfer of water vapor from soils and plants to the air. Multiple studies have linked satellite-derived LST to vegetation cover, as well, and it seems that high temperatures and low vegetation cover, which tend to colocate, are both associated with lower incomes, high poverty levels, and...
the amount of commuting with associated air pollution and congestion; as well as ecological effects, including hydrological disturbances and habitat fragmentation. There is a rich social science literature of spatial models ofurban land use. The classic monocentric city model is an equilibrium model of...
Air flow and concentration fields at urban road intersections for improved understanding of personal exposure[J] . Abhishek Tiwary,Alan Robins,Anil Namdeo,Margaret Bell.Environment International . 2011 (5)Tiwary A, Robins A, Namdeo A, Bell M. Air flow and concentration fields at urban road ...
whereas road traffic attributes more to PM2.5emissions. Highly connected urban form is likely to cause traffic congestion and trap pollution inside the street canyon, which accumulates higher PM2.5concentration. Computer simulation results also indicate that more compact cities improve urban air quality ...
Road traffic model Emissions model Greenhouse gas Air quality Congestion Local government Introduction More than half the world’s population now live in urban areas (UNFPA, 2007), where concentrated travel requirements can often overwhelm transport systems during peak periods, leading to congestion. For...
They include transport and the fuels used for transport (particularly road vehicles), as well as industry and emissions from homes and businesses. It is also clear that people are exposed to outdoor air pollution in the places where they live, work and spend their leisure time, and they ...
Therefore, planting a large number of plants in an urban area would be an appropriate way to reduce PM and purify the air. However, the planting pattern of tress should also be a special concern because vegetation can either decrease or increase PM concentration, depending on the road-canopy ...
Energy fluxes in the SLUCM between the street canyon and the road and walls and from the buildings roof (Ta– air temperature at reference heightza,TR– building roof temperature,TW– building wall temperature,TG– the road temperature,TS– temperature defined at zT+ d,H– the sensible heat...
The study area focuses on a 6.5 km-long downstream section of the Baxi stream, between the Chen–Nan boulevard and Wu–Yi Road, which passes by the municipal government buildings on the left bank (Figure 1c). Along the streamside of the study area are roads, schools, residences, ...
