Air pollution in urban environments has serious health and quality of life implications. A wide variety of anthropogenic air pollution sources increase the levels of background air pollutant concentrations, leading to the deterioration of the ambient air quality. Principal sources of urban air pollution are vehicular traffic, industrial activity and in general fossil fuel combustion, introducin...

Transportation sector significantly contributes to air pollution. This study calculates the daily load of emission some criteria pollutants (Nitrogen Oxides, Sulfur Carbon Monoxide and Suspended Particulate Matter) hydrocarbons from vehicular fleet at Toyenbee Circular Road, Motijheel, Dhaka. It also analyzes relative contribution certain types vehicles a specific type pollutant. Primary volume...

Urbanisation and industrialization are predominant indicators of regional growth with some adverse effect especially in ambient air quality often prone to contamination by emissions. Vehicular emissions have been identified as a consistent pollutant urban areas. However, meteorological conditions such rainfall also affect pollution concentration level. The aim was identify relationships between...

Road transportation injuries, environmental pollution, and wasted energy and time in traffic congestion cause considerable cost to society. Some examples are the $115 billion cost of United States traffic congestion in 2009 and its predicted $23 billion annual cost in Australia by 2020. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are increasingly being considered to mitigate these impacts. The ben...
