Beschreibung

Case Study from the year 2024 in the subject Engineering - Civil Engineering, , language: English, abstract: The book provides a comprehensive overview of vehicular emissions modeling and its implications for air quality management. Ensuring a clear and logical flow of information will facilitate readers' understanding and engagement with the content. It delves into the realm of vehicular air dispersion modeling and emission estimation along the State Highway-5 corridor (SH-5) from Indira Chowk to Rampur, situated in Ambala Cantonment. Leveraging CALINE-4, a highway dispersion model tailored for vehicular air dispersion modeling, the study provides insights into the prediction and forecasting of CO concentrations. By meticulously collecting traffic data for both weekdays and weekends along the designated corridor and monitoring CO concentrations at the roadside, the study validates the model's efficacy. Statistical descriptors are judiciously employed to evaluate the model's performance, ensuring robustness and reliability. The book encompasses vehicular emission load and modeling for the base year 2013 and the projected year 2017, with additional analysis under management scenarios, including the integration of CNG vehicles.
