| Abstract | Increasing concern about air quality has stimulated work in this area. The main purpose here is to evaluate the total amount of CO and NOx emitted by motor vehicles between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. in a selected region in Bangkok. The realistic approach requires, first, a traffic pattern survey along the major roads in the region and then to carry
out analyses on vehicle exhaust emissions under the derived Driving Cycle which simulate driving conditions in the study region. The feasibility of using an empirical equation to represent exhaust emission rates is looked at. The derived equation E = 287s-O. 75 is a good estimate of g - CO per vehicle - km emitted where S is the average route speed in km/hr. |
