Enhancing the Modeling of Emission Dispersion from Idling and Slowly Moving Trucks

The main goal of this project is to develop a dispersion model to address the near-road air quality impacts of idling and slowly moving vehicles. The research team will conduct field experiments, collect data for model development and validation, integrate the model in the SOTA traffic simulation platform, and perform case study to evaluate the performance of the platform.
