On-road vehicles are a key source of air pollution in metropolitan
areas. Transportation planners and policy makers are confronted
with the impacts of transportation on air quality. They require a
tool to quantify the environmental effects of planned
transportation control and urban development measure and thus aid
in selecting the most suitable projects. This book describes the
development of CALMOB6 - a tool to estimate emissions and fuel
consumption effects of proposed developments or regulations before
they are implemented. The model incorporates twenty-one vehicle
sub-classes. On a second-by-second basis, CALMOB6 calculates
emission rates of carbon monoxide, nitric oxides, hydrocarbons,
particulates and carbon dioxide, as well as the fuel consumption
rates for vehicles operating in an urban region. It can forecast
these quantities till year 2050. CALMOB6 considers effects of
alternative fuels, vehicle fleet, cold-starts, super-emitters and
environmental conditions. The tool can produce an inventory on
scales varying from an entire urban region down to a single
identified street at a single operating time-scale. This book is
addressed to professionals in transportation and environment.
