Roadside Coniferous Windbreaks as Sinks For Vehicular Lead Emissions

Pathways for balancing CO2 emissions and sinks

In December 2015 in Paris, leaders committed to achieve global, net decarbonization of human activities before 2100. This achievement would halt and even reverse anthropogenic climate change through the net removal of carbon from the atmosphere. However, the Paris documents contain few specific prescriptions for emissions mitigation, leaving various countries to pursue their own agendas. In thi...

Regional Distribution of Vehicular Emissions

QoS-aware roadside base station assisted routing in vehicular networks

The transmission technology for intelligent transportation systems can be typically classified into two categories, namely, road-to-vehicle communication (RVC) and inter-vehicle communication (IVC). RVCs perform the information communication service offer from road to vehicle whereas the IVCs perform the information communication through vehicles. This work proposes quality of service (QoS)-awa...

Impact of Modern Roundabouts on Vehicular Emissions

Vehicular emissions have increased considerably over the years with the increase in traffic. Modern roundabouts can improve traffic flow as well as cut down vehicular emissions and fuel consumption by reducing the vehicle idle time at intersections and thereby creating a positive impact on the environment. The primary focus of this research is to study the impact of modern roundabouts in cuttin...
