Abstract
To assess the quality of road traffic organization on environmental indicators, two methods of five regulations operating in the Russian Federation, which take into account the parameters of traffic flow, affecting the volume of emissions Pollutants. The parameter that affects the results of calculations in both methods is the average speed of movement. In real-world conditions on urban highways there are areas where the traffic flow is uneven (braking, acceleration, stopping), which entails an increase in the amount of pollutants from vehicles. At the same time, this uneven traffic is largely due to the existing the road design and traffic engineering on certain elements of the road network. This is the basis for the development of a methodology for calculating pollutant emissions to assess the quality of the traffic engineering, taking into account the uneven flow of traffic.
Highlights
In accordance with Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 25, 2015 No 1440 “On the approval of requirements for programs for the integrated development of the transport infrastructure of settlements, urban districts,” the program for the comprehensive development of the city’s transport infrastructure should include: assessing the level of negative impact of the transport infrastructure on the environment, safety and public health; measures to reduce the negative impact of transport on the environment and public health
No 43 “On approval of the Rules for the preparation of projects and schemes road design and traffic engineering”, the developed measures for the road design and traffic engineering (RDTE) should constitute an integrated system of technically, economically and environmentally sound measures of an organizational nature, and one of the tasks of developing project documentation for RDTE is to reduce the negative impact of road transport on the environment
There are two types of methods that assess the level of air pollution by traffic: methods that estimate the concentration of pollutants in the roadside territory [1,3,4,5] and methods that estimate the amount of pollutant emissions by automobile road [1,2,6,7,8,9]
Summary
In accordance with Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 25, 2015 No 1440 “On the approval of requirements for programs for the integrated development of the transport infrastructure of settlements, urban districts,” the program for the comprehensive development of the city’s transport infrastructure should include: assessing the level of negative impact of the transport infrastructure on the environment, safety and public health; measures to reduce the negative impact of transport on the environment and public health. To assess the quality of RDTE by environmental indicators, the most interesting are the methods [6,7], which take into account the parameters of the traffic flows that affect the volume of pollutant emissions. Both methods have a similar approach to calculating emissions of pollutants from moving vehicles, an important parameter influencing the results of calculations is the average speed of movement. This uneven movement is largely due to the existing RDTE on certain elements of the RSN
