Sustainable air pollution management in urban areas caused by traffic: Case study Banja Luka

Abstract

The subject of this work is a model of Sustainable Air Pollution Management in Urban Areas Caused by Traffic. The aim of this work is to give a practical preview of sustainable air pollution management in urban areas. Sustainable Air Pollution Management means more efficient use of resources and down-size of emission of harmful gases [8]. The model is based on 24 hour measurement of air pollution in networked measuring stations within Automatic Traffic Control System Centre. Based on results measured by Automatic Traffic Control System Centre the signaling cycle activates which causes traffic diversion in the city. This allows managing of air pollution in critical zones of the city (city centre) and traffic diversion to other city areas, which helps improve air quality according to the standard.
