Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Atmospheric Chemistry
  • Transportation Engineering

Background:

  • Traffic emissions are a major source of urban air pollution, particularly carbon monoxide (CO).
  • Accurate simulation of CO concentrations is crucial for urban planning and public health.
  • Existing models require validation for specific urban environments like Singapore.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To simulate ambient carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations in Singapore due to traffic.
  • To validate the Indic Airviro model's performance in predicting CO levels at roadside locations.
  • To establish a predictive approach for transportation-related CO impacts.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Indic Airviro regional dispersion model, including its street canyon and Gaussian line source modules.
  • Estimated fleet average emission factors using US EPA MOBILE 5 A guidelines, considering speed, deterioration, and model year.
  • Simulated 1-hour and worst-case 8-hour CO concentrations, incorporating rooftop background levels.

Main Results:

  • Simulated CO concentrations showed good correlation with measured roadside data.
  • The model successfully captured the impact of traffic flow on ambient CO levels.
  • Rooftop concentration simulations effectively served as background levels for roadside predictions.

Conclusions:

  • The Indic Airviro model, with specific modules, is effective for simulating traffic-induced CO pollution in urban street canyons.
  • The study provides a validated method for predicting CO concentrations, aiding in transportation emission management.
  • This approach offers valuable insights for urban air quality assessment and policy development.
