Air Quality in Transit Oriented Developments
| 项目名称： | Air Quality in Transit Oriented Developments |
| 摘要： | The objectives of the research program are to 1) develop a semi-empirical model to describe the impacts of building morphology and the associated micrometeorology on air quality within transit oriented developments (TOD), and 2) use the model to suggest TOD designs that minimize the exposure of TOD residents to emissions from cars and buses traveling along transit corridors. Our current understanding of the effects of urban structures on the air quality impact of these emissions is poor. We will improve this understanding by conducting field studies in selected TODs under a variety of meteorological conditions to develop a data base that will be used to develop the semi-empirical model. This research, the results of which can be used to help protect public health through better design of transit corridors, fits well into University of California Transportation Center's (UCTC's) research topics: livability and environmental sustainability. The research will be conducted by a multidisciplinary team with the expertise required to achieve the objectives. Akula Venkatram (UCR), principal investigator, will lead activities related to modeling dispersion in urban canopies, Suzanne Paulson (UCLA) will be responsible for air quality measurements, and J.R. DeShazo (UCLA) will provide expertise in urban planning and policy analysis. |
