Urbanization has resulted in high temperatures cities, which are exacerbated by an increase urban impervious surfaces (road space). This study investigated the effect of road characteristics on roadside temperature. Different temperature indices were measured at four sites Seoul with different designs using weather measuring devices and infrared thermal cameras. The differences between air decr...
