| Summary: | Carbon Monoxide and Sulfur Dioxides concentrations and traffic volume data were
collected at several locations in Ipoh City in the state of Perak in Malaysia. The sites were
categorised into an enclosed area and an open area and at each site different vehicles driving
mode were considered. A mathematical models based for pollutant concentration were
developed using the least square method. Results from these studies indicate that the
maximum concentration of pollutant is higher in an enclosed surrounding for all driving
modes compared to an open surrounding similar traffic volume. The relationships derived
between traffics flows and pollutants concentrations indicate that the adopted approach to
forecast pollutant levels from traffic counts is workable for Malaysian situation. (Abstract by author) |
