Biking in Fresh Air: Consideration of Exposure to Traffic-Related Air Pollution in Bicycle Route Planning
The purpose of this project is to develop a method for incorporating the consideration of exposure of bicyclists to traffic-related air pollution in bicycle route planning. The method will be applied to the city of Riverside, California, as a case study. Specifically, the project will: (1) create a streamlined process for estimating the level of near-road air pollution concentration in the city; (2) develop a novel bicycle route planning tool that allows planners to compare the exposure of bicyclists to traffic-related air pollution among different bicycle routes; and (3) demonstrate the method for considering bicyclist’s exposure to traffic-related air pollution in bicycle route planning.
