Application of environmental monitoring and forecasting systems in transport

The impacts of road transport on the environment are of growing concern in most developed countries and New Zealand is no exception; two of the primary areas of concern in New Zealand being the effects of vehicle emissions, and noise. A key focus area of the New Zealand Transport Strategy is on reducing the impacts of transport on the environment, and in particular where this affects public health. The purpose of this research project was to review the use overseas of environmental monitoring and forecasting systems as a component of wider integrated ITS facilities; in particular those linked to active traffic management systems, and related information systems, and to consider the potential for the use of these systems in New Zealand. This paper provides a summary of the larger study. (a)
