Urban Transportation and Air Pollution synthesizes the state-of-the-art methods for estimating near-road concentrations of roadway emissions. The book provides the information needed to make estimates using methods based on a minimal set of model inputs that can be applied by a wide range of users in many situations. The book begins by discussing the methods to estimate traffic emission under numerous urban driving conditions, then explores the uncertainty of emission models because real-world emissions can vary significantly. The book describes

Urban Transportation and Air Pollution synthesizes state-of-the-art methods on estimating near-road concentrations of roadway emissions. The book provides the information needed to make estimates using methods based on a minimal set of model inputs that can be applied by a wide range of users in many situations. Discussions include methods to estimate traffic emission under numerous urban driving conditions, the uncertainty of emission models, and the effects of road configurations, such as near-road solid barriers. Final sections present dispersion models

The continuing requirement for better urban transport systems and the need for a healthier environment have led to an increased level of research around the world. This is reflected in the proceedings presented at the well-established International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment in the 21st Century. This volume presents the steady growth in research into urban transport and will be of particular interest to engineers, scientists and managers working in industry, universities, research organizations and government; involved in

October 1998 A policy considered in isolation may be ineffective because of the countervailing impact of other factors. And the success of a policy may itself lead to perverse incentives. Thus it is important to design complementary policies that support the original goal. Controlling air pollution from urban transport requires attention to land use planning, transport needs and modes, and air quality. Air quality is declining in urban areas, in part because of the rapid motorization of societies worldwide. To combat

The protection of air quality through the control of man-made pollution is not only a relatively recent issue of policy concern but also a relatively new subject of scientific investigation.

Air pollution from urban travel is influenced by travel demand -- by its distribution among models, by congestion levels, and by the characteristics of vehicles and fuels. How well do existing models evaluate the effect of different policies, especially on welfare and on air pollution?

Transport-related air pollution is increasingly contributing to environmental health risks in many developing country cities. The social costs of poor urban quality can be significant, making this issue an immediate priority. Long-term measures for dealing with the problem include urban planning, and traffic demand management. This paper however, focuses primarily on cost-effective measures, that are feasible to implement, and that can bring measurable results in the short to medium term. There is a tendency in the environment sector, to focus

Much is expected of private financing to help meet the infrastructure requirements of the rapidly growing East Asian economies. Although private financing grew briskly during the 1990s, it represents only a small share of all infrastructure investment in the region (between 12 and 18 percent). This monograph draws on experience in a number of countries in East Asia, as well as Australia, Chile, and India, to analyze the impediments to and prospects for private financing of infrastructure. The chapters discuss the choices

Current research on urban transport and the environment is as important as it is varied, while the issues involved are complex and often inter-related. Containing the proceedings of the Seventh International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment in the 21st Century, this volume addresses the environmentally effective integration of various modes of transport.

The book deals with urban transportation planning in light of environmental sustainability and social equity. It begins with a review of the Indian urban transportation system and the issues surrounding it, and discusses the alternatives and policy directions that are being considered. It examines all the environmental issues arising out of transportation as a sector and assesses the alternatives that can be considered to improve sustainability. Further, the book not only analyses transportation modes that cater to the travel needs
