Road dust and vehicle exhaust are the main sources of air pollution in cities, especially in recent years with the quantity of vehicles and transportation construction continuously soaring; the hazy weather has been a dominant urban pollution form which is widely concerned by the Chinese society. By establishing a relationship model between traffic and land use, then applying analytic hierarchy...

Most of the cities of developing countries are facing serious noise pollution problem, due to the concentration of motor vehicles and human population within the limited urban areas. The study presents the status of noise pollution at selected signalized intersections of Nashik city, Maharashtra, India. The study is conducted using sound level meter and simultaneously classified traffic volume ...

In this letter, we study the improvement that road-side stations can bring to the multihop connectivity of intervehicle communication in a traffic stream. With a recursive model of connectivity, we study impacts of different densities of road-side stations and different positions of road-side stations for uniform or non-uniform traffic streams.

Due to considerable progress in exhaust control emission technology and extensive regulatory work regarding this issue, non-exhaust sources of air pollution have become a growing concern. This research involved studying three types of road environment samples such as road dust, sludge from storm drains and roadside soil collected from heavily congested and polluted cities in Poland (Krakow, War...

This paper presents a multidisciplinary approach to understand the impacts of temperature increase on retention particulate pollutants, such as heavy metals and microplastics, by road pavement material. A soil with particle size distribution similar dust was selected. Wheel Tracking device used assess permanent deformation behavior prismatic specimens dust, at controlled temperatures 40 °C 60 °...

This study reviews the impact of roadside friction on urban arterial roads in published literature and aims to identify various side frictional parameters that roads. The are non-motorized vehicles, pedestrian crossing or moving along road, street vendors, on-street parking, animal movement, land-use activity. all these traffic performance leads a reduction capacity, speed (instantaneous speed,...

background: the aim of this study was to assess the effects of road deicing salt on the quality of the ground water resources in hamadan province during winter season. methods: water samples were taken monthly from thirty wells located around the hamadan-asadabad highway. the quality of well water was examined by measuring amount of sodium, chloride, total hardness, total dissolved solid, elect...

In order to reduce a road monitoring cost, we propose a system to monitor extensively road condition by cyclists with a smartphone. In this paper, we propose two methods towards road monitoring. First is to classify road signals to four road conditions. Second is to extract road signal from a smartphone’s accelerometer in three positions: pants’ side pocket, chest pocket and a bag in a front ba...
