Abstract:
Cities and town plays a vital role in promoting
economic growth and prosperity in country. With growing
population, vehicular air pollution is detected as an eminent
problem in Rajkot city due to high growth of motorized
vehicles. The increase in travel demand has resulted in rapid
growth of number of motor vehicles, buses and other mode of
transportation in the arterial and sub arterial road of Rajkot
city. Environmental analysis of transportation system is an
inclusive and demanding task. Traffic induced emissions pose a
serious threat to air quality in many metropolitan cities. Along
with increase in motorized vehicles in city amount of CO, CO2,
SOX, NOX, and particular matter is also drastically increasing
which cause unhealthy air to breathe in urban areas. The
results of the study are discussed and contribution of each of
the measures is evaluated. The results are carried out to
quantify the emissions of interest for analyzation and traffic
air pollution prediction model is developed according to that
