Simulation of traffic-induced air pollution for mesoscale applications
Recent investigations have shown that vehicular traffic is the main source for emissions leading to summer smog. A study of the impact of traffic emission on urban air quality requires a complex air-pollution simulation system. This paper presents results of the development and application of an air-pollution simulation system at GMD FIRST which aims at supporting users in government administration and industry with forecasting and operative decision-making as well as short- to long-term regional planning. The components of the simulation system are parallelly implemented simulation models for meteorology, transport and air chemistry, data bases for model input and simulation results, as well as a graphic user interface for spatial data visualization. In order to study the influence of traffic emissions, a traffic-flow and a traffic-emission model have been added to the simulation system. Results presented are from two recent applications in the regions of Berlin/Brandenburg and Munich (Germany). Further applications are in preparation.
