Abstract

Air pollution monitoring in Rostov-on-Don and Rostov region is considered. The excess of the concentration of suspended solids over the national average is shown, especially near motorways and the busiest intersections. On the example of one intersection, field observations were carried out, and based on the developed computer programs, calculation of the main transport characteristics, the vehicle queue length at different phases of traffic light switching was carried out. The necessity of installing a "smart" (adaptive) traffic light is shown. The developed software products can be used to improve the organization of traffic flows and as a computer laboratory when teaching students in the specialty "Organization of transport processes".

Highlights

The problem of optimizing the movement of urban transport is acute for the departments of large cities
In terms of environmental damage, vehicles are leading in all types of negative impact: air pollution - 95%, noise - 49.5%, climate impact - 68%
In most cities of the Rostov region for the period 2008–2016 there is an increase in the level of air pollution with soot, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, nitrogen dioxide, phenol and formaldehyde, which is directly related to a significant increase in the fleet of vehicles in use

Summary

Introduction

The problem of optimizing the movement of urban transport is acute for the departments of large cities. Transportation problems in metropolitan areas, such as congestion at intersections, lead to high levels of polluting emissions when a car engine is idling or running slowly. Due to the high concentration of vehicles in megalopolises, the air is depleted in oxygen and polluted by emissions from the combustion of petroleum products [1-6]. Harmful products get into the water and the water environment is polluted, the ecological system is disrupted, natural and climatic conditions change. In terms of environmental damage, vehicles are leading in all types of negative impact: air pollution - 95%, noise - 49.5%, climate impact - 68%. The main cause of air pollution is incomplete and uneven combustion of fuel. The exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine contain over 170 harmful components, of which about 160 are hydrocarbon derivatives 15% of it is spent on driving a car, and 85% “flies into the wind.” The exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine contain over 170 harmful components, of which about 160 are hydrocarbon derivatives
