Monograph

This issue contains 15 papers concerned with air quality. Specific topics addressed include the following: operations and emissions characteristics of light-duty vehicles on ramps; particulate matter hot spots; light-duty gasoline vehicle rated fuel economy; vehicle-specific fuel use and emission models; macroscopic emission estimation models; carbon footprint reductions of tricycle logistics services; transit bus emission estimation; and emission analysis for transit corridors under different improvement strategies. Additional topics covered in this issue include: improving emissions estimations; modeling criteria and air toxic pollutants in light-duty biodiesel exhaust; parallel and series hybrid power trains for transit bus applications; estimating project-level vehicle emissions with VISSIM and MOVES-Matrix; effects of traffic fleet composition on the toxicity of volatile organic compound emissions; network attributes and land use effects on vehicular emissions; and pedestrian exposure to PM-2.5.
