Software Analysis of the Level of Air Pollution and Pedestrian Level of Service in the Downtown Area of Bitola, FYRO Macedonia

Programska analiza razine zaga|enja zraka i pjesacke razine usluge u centru grada Bitole, FYRO Makedonija

FYRO Macedonia is a country that needs improved transportation, land-use planning, mobility planning, less congested streets and more up-to-date, affordable and reliable transport systems. The transport system and services have suffered from decades of under-investment. The result is overcrowding, congestion, delays and pollution. Turning around this trend is not an easy task. The flow of vehicles, especially freight flows in and out of the urbanized areas has huge impact on the City, method of its operation, and the general quality of life. Inefficient transportation of goods and services contributes to congestion and higher emission levels, and has a demonstrable impact on the general quality of life, problems common across cities in the FYRO Macedonia. This paper is focused on the assessment of air pollution and pedestrian level of service in the downtown area of Bitola, through micro simulation software analysis and comparison. The overall aim was to introduce measures for emissions reduction, energy consumption, and to upgrade the overall quality of life as well.
