A GIS framework for Traffic Emission Information System

Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A coefficient-based vehicular exhaust emission model is being developed jointly with the variable-grid urban airshed model (UAM-V) of Systems Applications International (SAI), and integrated within a GIS (ArcInfo) framework. When coupled with a road network, traffic features and meteorological as well as geographical databases, this framework produces a Traffic Emission Information System (TEIS). With this TEIS, the emission coefficients of CO, NOx and VOC for Sydney in the calendar year 2000 are derived; and the emission rates of the pollutants are then estimated using sample traffic profile data for the Sydney metropolitan area. Finally, ongoing improvements to the system are presented.
