OPTIMAL TRAFFIC ASSIGNMENT TO URBAN STREETS WITH AIR POLLUTION CONSIDERATION

TRAFFIC ASSIGNMENT IS USUALLY DETERMINED SOLELY ON THE BASIS OF MINIMUM TRAVEL TIME THROUGH THE NETWORK. THE PRESENT STUDY ON TRAFFIC ASSIGNMENT HAS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT NOT ONLY TRAFFIC PERFORMANCE BUT ALSO AIR QUALITY OVER THE STREET. A SIMPLE MODEL OF HIGHWAY AIR POLLUTION IS DEVELOPED BY CONSIDERING THE MACROSCOPIC MATERIAL BALANCE OF POLLUTED AIR MASS OVER A SEGMENT OF A HIGHWAY THAT PASSES THROUGH AN URBAN AREA. A NEW TRAFFIC ASSIGNMENT SCHEME HAS BEEN DEVELOPED BASED ON THE AIR POLLUTION MODEL. THE OPTIMAL TRAFFIC ASSIGNMENT OBTAINED BY THE NEW SCHEME IS AFFECTED SIGNIFICANTLY BY METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS. /AUTHOR/
