Abstract
In urban roads, vehicles continuously emitted gases and through
diffusion process, vehicle turbulence, heat flux and by wind speed
emission can transfer to upper stratosphere of air and to road surroundings.
There should be some pollutant that can not transfer instantaneously
because of inadequate wind velocity and for road canyons. In due
course, for certain time interval there should be some pollutant that could
exist in the road surrounding.
This paper pictures the formulation of a stochastic model of
this quantity of gas, and the concentration of expanded gases in
any particular area around the road in any time period. More precisely,
the paper deals with the effects of street canyon on the dispersion of
pollutants from road environment. A mathematical model has been established
to figure out the real situation of pollutants in urban roads. The model
consists of traffic flow, emission and dispersion models, wind speed modeling
near road. The principal part of the model is to predict the total
pollutant concentration near the ground which includes direct vehicle emissions,
pollutants that can not be transferred before and pollutants coming
from surroundings. The prediction was performed using a bivariate normal
probability density function. The variables are concentration of pollutants
and wind speed. The pollutant that includes in this model is nitrogen oxides
(NOx).
