Organization of road traffic flows taking into account environmental criteria

Abstract

Modern scientific knowledge about the problem of environmental pollution by road transport is based on the concept of the negative impact of the entire transport complex, and not just individual transport facilities. The problem of environmental pollution by objects of the motor transport complex is aggravated by the rapid growth of the car park. Together with the insufficient development of the road network and the low level of quality management of road transport flows, this leads to a critical environmental situation in cities. Along with the progressive deterioration of the quality of atmospheric air, other environmental problems associated with the production of automotive equipment, spare parts and operating materials, operation, maintenance, storage and disposal of vehicles are aggravated. One of the most effective ways to resolve the problem situation is the establishment of quotas for emissions of pollutants from road traffic, taking into account the polluting background and the achievement of the established quotas by organizing the movement of vehicles. The proposed method predetermined the development of a system analysis methodology, which determines the sequence of analysis stages and methods for their implementation, combining mathematical modeling and programming, air sampling techniques, laboratory instrumental analysis and statistical processing of experimental results. In this regard, a method has been developed to limit emissions of pollutants from road traffic flows by introducing quotas, for the implementation of which an algorithm, special software and a calculation and instrumental method of environmental monitoring of road traffic flows are proposed.
