Scenario Analysis And Optimization Approach In Air Quality Planning: A Case Study In Northern Italy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Secondary pollution derives from complex non-linear reactions involving precursor emissions, namely VOC, NOx, NH3, primary PM and SO2. Due to difficulty to cope with this complexity, Decision Support Systems (DSSs) are key tools to support Environmental Authorities in planning cost-effective air quality policies that fulfill EU Directive 2008/50 requirements. The objective of this work is to formalize and compare the scenario analysis and the multi-objective optimization approach for air quality planning purposes. A case study of Northern Italy is presented.

A decision methodology for large scale systems: the case of the air quality planning
The paper describes a multi-objective optimization approach to define efficient air quality control policies at regional scale. Air Quality and Cost of policy implementation are the two ingredients considered in the methodology. Both seasonal (for ozone) and yearly (for PM10) models are applied to simulate the Air Quality Index, based on Artificial Neural Networks. Results are shown at first in...
متن کاملA robust multi-objective global supplier selection model under currency fluctuation and price discount
Robust supplier selection problem, in a scenario-based approach has been proposed, when the demand and exchange rates are subject to uncertainties. First, a deterministic multi-objective mixed integer linear programming is developed; then, the robust counterpart of the proposed mixed integer linear programming is presented using the recent extension in robust optimization theory. We discuss dec...
متن کاملMulti-period and multi-resource operating room scheduling and rescheduling using a rolling horizon approach: a case study
In this paper, a multi-period and multi-resource operating room (OR) scheduling and rescheduling problem with elective and semi-elective (semi-urgent) patients is addressed. A scheduling-rescheduling framework based on the so-called rolling horizon approach is proposed to solve the problem. The core of the proposed framework is a novel proposed mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model with...

متن کاملEffect of the Apulia air quality plan on PM10 and benzo(a)pyrene exceedances
During the last years, several exceedances of PM10 and benzo(a)pyrene limit values exceedances were recorded in Taranto, a city in southern Italy included in so-called areas at high risk of environmental crisis because of the presence of a heavy industrial district including the largest steel factory in Europe. A study of these critical pollution events showed a close...
