Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Atmospheric Chemistry
  • Transportation Engineering

Background:

  • Traffic tunnels are significant sources of air pollution, particularly carbon monoxide (CO).
  • Accurate forecasting of air pollutant concentrations is crucial for traffic management and public health.
  • Existing forecasting models may have limitations in capturing complex pollution dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the accuracy of three air pollution forecasting methods: Grey model (GM), Crank-Nicholson implicit scheme, and forecasting combination model (FCM).
  • To evaluate the performance of these models in predicting CO pollution within the Kaohsiung Cross Harbor Tunnel.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Grey model (GM), Crank-Nicholson implicit scheme, and forecasting combination model (FCM) for air pollution forecasting.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Applied statistical criteria including root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) for model evaluation.
  • Assessed model performance using correlation coefficient (r) at different tunnel locations (Upwind, Middle, Downwind).

    • Main Results:

    • The forecasting combination model (FCM) demonstrated superior performance compared to GM and Crank-Nicholson models.
    • FCM exhibited characteristics of a reliable forecasting model across all evaluated metrics.
    • High correlation coefficients were achieved for FCM: 0.94 (Upwind), 0.98 (Middle), and 0.98 (Downwind).

    Conclusions:

    • The forecasting combination model (FCM) is a highly accurate and effective method for forecasting CO pollution in traffic tunnel environments.
    • FCM provides a robust tool for air quality management and mitigation strategies in transportation infrastructure.
    • The study validates FCM's applicability for real-world CO pollution prediction in the Kaohsiung Cross Harbor Tunnel.
