Decision-Support System for Urban Air Pollution under Future Climate Conditions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Climate change is expected to influence urban living conditions and challenge the ability of cities to adapt to and mitigate climate change. Urban climates will be faced with elevated temperatures and future climate conditions are expected to cause higher ozone concentrations, increased biogenic emissions from vegetation, changes in the chemistry of the atmosphere and changes in deposition of particulate air pollution. This paper describes a conceptual outline of a decision-support system for assessment of the impacts of climate change on urban climate and air quality, and for assessment of integrated climate change and air pollution adaptation and mitigation strategies.

Gis-based Multi-agent Traffic Micro Simulation for Modelling the Local Air Pollution
Air pollution from motor vehicles is one of the most serious and rapidly growing problems in metropolitan areas. It is occurred especially in major arterial streets inside the metropolitan central district because of the heavy traffic congestion suffering. Although transportation networks operate as an integrated system, at a regional level we can safely assume that local urban congestion will ...

long recognized.3-5 Consequently, there has been a growing interest in investigating what changes in air quality may be brought about by the possible future changes in climate. The common assumption has been that warmer temperatures accompanying climate change will enhance pollution. However, due to the complex interplay of meteorology and chemistry in the formation of pollutants such as PM2.5 ...

The prime aim of this research is to support decision making, e.g., air quality impact analysis, human health assessment, through spatially modelling traffic-induced air pollution dispersion in urban areas at street level. Based on the information needed in decision making, a framework for a street level air quality decision support system is established, which is composed of basically three pa...

Future air quality in large cities will not only depend on how sustainable the city administration will be in terms of how they introduce clean technologies and organize the energy, heating and transport systems. Urban air quality will also be affected by global, hemispheric and regional contributions of longrange transported pollutants, for which the future evolution is depending on internatio...
