Description of Paper:

A new generation of low cost wireless pervasive sensors (Motes) has been integrated with UTMC to evaluate models which enable SCOOT, and provide complementary monitored data, to predict the impact of Traffic Demand Management Strategies on the environment in near real-time. The output from a dispersion model (OSPM) linked with a new emissions model is validated using data captured by the motes (measuring air pollution, CO, NO₂ and NO) and legacy systems including SCOOT, AURN (Automatic Urban and Rural Network) and meteorological conditions. This validated model and/or the motes will then compliment legacy systems through their ability to cover detection gaps in existing urban networks. Accordingly in the absence of a legacy traffic system, the motes also can be deployed independently.
