Improved Environmental Monitoring for Road Transportation

  • Published:
Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

The quantitative relation between vehicle emissions and heavy-metal pollution of roadsides and vegetation is considered. The dependence of the mass of emissions on the number of vehicles and the heavy-metal concentration in the roadside soil and vegetation is determined by simulation. This research facilitates environmental monitoring of road transportation and traffic regulation in the interest of urban ecosystems and public health.
