The authors presented the contribution of gasoline vehicle exhaust to SOA formation in urban atmosphere. The manuscript indicated the importance of the vehicular gasoline compositions and clarified the principal problem of vehicular emissions for haze pollution in China. However, in your literature review, the authors missed some new findings. E. g. Tang et al. (2015) illustrated the difference...

A traditional traffic signal control system is established based on vehicular delay, queue length, saturation and other indicators. However, due to the increasing severity of urban environmental pollution issues and the development of a resource-saving and environmentally friendly social philosophy, the development of low-carbon and energy-efficient urban transport is required. This paper first...

Exhaust emissions contribute greatly to air pollution, the social cost of which may occur as danger to human health, attracting huge medical expenses, causing absenteeism and hence loss of productivity. These are incentives to reduce exhaust emissions to the barest minimum. Two major cities in Ghana, Accra and Kumasi, are struck by vehicular traffic jams especially during rush-hours and are gra...

The noise generated from the vehicular traffic flow is a major source of environmental pollution. The present paper reports the evaluation of the noise measurement due to vehicular traffic flow at interrupted flow condition in intermediate Yavatmal city, district place of Vidarbha region in Maharashtra (India). Traffic volume data and noise level data are collected at all the identified two maj...

Changes in the concentration of different photosynthetic pigments (Chlorophyll and carotenoids) were determined in the leaves of six tree species exposed to air pollution due to vehicular emissions. The six tree species, which are all economically important because of their being fruit bearers, used for timber fodder and as road side trees on the basis of their air pollution tolerance index. Th...

nowadays, the environmental impact of transportation project and, especially air pollution impacts, are major concerns in evaluating transportation projects. based on this concern, beside definition of traditional objective functions like total travel time and total investment cost, different type of environmental related function is considered as objective function in urban network design. in ...

Vehicles provide an ideal platforms for a plethora of emerging applications such as networked gaming, multimedia content delivery and urban sensing. Cars have no power constraints and they can be instrumented with high end computational units and graphic devices. The deployment at scale of urban vehicular systems, however, require a careful design able to consider challenges across several doma...
