Development and Applications of an Emissions Micro-Simulation Tool for Transportation Infrastructure Design
DownloadFall 2014
Transportation emissions constitute a significant portion of overall emissions inventories, and contribute to air quality health concerns. Reductions in transportation emissions can be achieved through efficient design of infrastructure, effective policy and regulation, and informed planning...

Investigating the effects of transportation infrastructure development on energy consumption and emissions
DownloadFall 2010
This study outlines the development of an emissions modeling process in which tractive power based emissions functions are applied to microscopic traffic simulation data. The model enables transportation planners to evaluate the effects of transportation infrastructure projects on emissions and...

Sensitivity of Ambient NO2 Concentration to Upstream Oil and Gas and Transportation Emissions in Alberta
DownloadFall 2023
Ambient exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ozone (O3) is associated with severe health problems and health-related economic burdens. The levels of NO2 concentration in the province of Alberta show that they will exceed the updated Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS) in Edmonton and...
