Particulate Matter Emissions from Roads in Birminham
Air quality concerns continue to pose a challenge to the transportation industry. This project investigated the extent to which traffic flow impacted particulate emissions from roadways in Birmingham, Alabama. Through repeated measurements at five locations, it was determined that truck flow is a controlling influence on roadway particulate emissions. In particular, queuing of trucks greatly increases emissions. Therefore, emissions and planning models and activities must include a description of truck operational mode to accurately describe roadway contributions. If roadway particulate emissions are to be minimized, optimizing traffic flow on high truck (not necessarily high average daily traffic) routes needs to be considered.
