Abstract Details

2011, Master of Environmental Science, Miami University, Environmental Sciences.
This is a study that attempts to develop a methodology to quantify the amount of air pollution that can be attributed to On Road Mobile Sources in the State of Ohio Highway Network. Traffic count data was used as an input for ARCMAP 9.3 to create maps of State, County and US routes. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) MOVES 2010a air pollution model was used to predict five different pollutants that can be attributed to mobile sources. Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) were used in the process of clustering and ranking the roads. Federal Tier 2 regulation standards were used in comparison with the MOVES2010a outputs in the evaluation process of this study. This paper also reports on limitations of the study, as well as future research options.
