Application of gis in urban traffic air quality
- 1. APPLICATION OF GIS IN URBAN TRAFFIC EMISSION AND AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT
- 2. WHAT IS GIS ? • GIS (geographical Information System) is a computer based tool to capture, store, analyze, manage, manipulate and present the data that are in spatial or geographical format. A geographic information system (GIS) is a technological tool for comprehending geography and making intelligent decisions. • ArcGIS is a software used widely by researchers and engineers to systematically analyze and handle the air quality and emission related data which makes it easier for policy makers to understand and implement legislation.
- 3. NOX • Nitrogen Oxides (mainly NO and NO), or NOx, is the generic term for a group of highly reactive gases, which contain nitrogen and oxygen in various amounts and chemical configurations. Most of the nitrogen oxides are colorless and odorless. • However, one very common pollutant, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) along with other particles in the air can often be seen as a reddish-brown layer of smog over many cities or heavily populated areas.
- 4. SOURCES OF NOX vehicles contribute between 30–75% of the total NO emissions in urban areas
- 5. NOX AND HUMAN HEALTH NO2 is one of the most reactive oxides of nitrogen. • Reacts with oxygen and forms ground level ozone causing lung cancer and resporatory illness • Nox reacts with water and forms nitric acid which is responsible for acid rains. • NO and NO2 along with airborne particles cause visibility impairment.
- 6. CURRENT SCENARIO Due to rapid urbanization and population growth in recent years vehicular emission has emerged as a big threat to the environment and human lives.
- 11. APPLICATIONS OF GIS • GIS can help reducing decision making time by conducting spatial analysis of suitable modelling and methodology. • Traditionally, two general approaches to air pollution mapping can be identifed:spatial interpolation and dispersion modelling ( Briggs 1992) . The former uses statistical or other methods to model the pollution surface, based upon measurements atmonitoring sites. With the development of GIS and geostatistical techniques in recent years, a wide range of spatial interpolation methods have now become available
- 12. • GIS can link several databases and layers and generate high resolution display of the distribution and behavior of occurance
- 13. BUFFER ANALYSIS • It is powerful tool to identify extract certain features in selected georeferenced area within or outside the study area.
- 15. 100M AND 300M BUFFER AROUND MONITORING SITE
- 16. APPROACH IN GIS • identification, collection and categorization of emission sources. • Dividing the study area in suitable small grid to collect input data for ArcGIS • Executing the data and developing a digital map of the study area • Generating specially resolved map of the given study area with embedded information of contribution of different sources towards a specific pollutant i.e. NOx
- 17. Map digitization Data collection Emission inventory development Air quality simulation for selected area Generation of spatially resolved emission maps
