This book was released on 2005-01-31 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This summary report compares the data from the three California national parks measured and presents a simplified methodology for performing a generic emissions inventory on other parks. The specific objectives of this report include: 1. Compare the vehicle distributions from the three parks to determine whether vehicle distributions in different parks are significantly different from each other; 2. Compare the speed distributions from the three parks to determine whether driving cycles in different parks are significantly different from each other; and 3. Provide park personnel with a useful simplified emissions inventory tool to use in the generation of a generic park vehicular emissions inventory without committing the funding and time necessary to perform a more detailed measurement and analysis to be used for park planning purposes.

Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center), Environmental Measurement and Modeling Division, provided technical support to the National Parks Foundation as a part of a National Park Service (NPS) project to evaluate vehicular emissions in the national parks. A Visitor Vehicular Emissions Study was performed in three California National Parks between August 2002 and April 2003 – Yosemite National Park, Joshua Tree National Park, and Point Reyes National Seashore – in order to collect traffic count, vehicle tracking, meteorological, Inspection and Maintenance Program, and fuel program data. This data was processed through the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) MOBILE6.2 modeling software to produce park-specific emission factors, and weekly traffic count data was used with these emission factors to produce a weekly emissions inventory for each park. Alternative methods involving modal emissions models were also investigated.

This book was released on 2005-01-31 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A visitor vehicle emissions study was conducted for Joshua Tree National Park. This study was a joint effort between the NPS, the National Park Foundation (NPF), and the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center's Environmental Measurement and Modeling Division (Volpe Center). The goal of this study was two-fold: (1) Develop a park-specific baseline vehicular emissions inventory of carbon monoxide (CO), the volatile organic compound (VOC) category of hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon dioxide (CO2), 2.5-micron particulate matter (PM2.5), and 10-micron particulate matter (PM10) [NOTE: PM in this document indicates total particulate matter, including exhaust PM (lead, gasoline PM, elemental carbon, organic carbon, and sulfates), brake PM, and tire PM]; and (2) develop a simplified methodology to produce vehicular emissions inventories for varying visitor traffic scenarios.

Download or read book Evaluating Vehicle Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Programs written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-11-16 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emissions inspection and maintenance (I/M) programs subject vehicles to periodic inspections of their emission control systems. Despite widespread use of these programs in air-quality management, policy makers and the public have found a number of problems associated with them. Prominent among these issues is the perception that emissions benefits and other impacts of I/M programs have not been evaluated adequately. Evaluating Vehicle Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Programs assesses the effectiveness of these programs for reducing mobile source emissions. In this report, the committee evaluates the differences in the characteristics of motor vehicle emissions in areas with and without I/M programs, identifies criteria and methodologies for their evaluation, and recommends improvements to the programs. Most useful of all, this book will help summarize the observed benefits of these programs and how they can be redirected in the future to increase their effectiveness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRB Special Report 298: Driving and the Built Environment: Effects of Compact Development on Motorized Travel, Energy Use, and CO2 Emissions examines the relationship between land development patterns and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in the United States to assess whether petroleum use, and by extension greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, could be reduced by changes in the design of development patterns. The report estimates the contributions that changes in residential and mixed-use development patterns and transit investments could make in reducing VMT by 2030 and 2050, and the impact this could have in meeting future transportation-related GHG reduction goals.

Download or read book Environmental Impacts of Road Vehicles written by R M Harrison and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2017-06-13 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first concerns that come to mind in relation to pollution from road vehicles are direct emissions of carbon dioxide and toxic air pollutants. These are, of course, important but the impacts of road traffic are altogether more substantial. This volume of the Issues in Environmental Science and Technology Series takes a broader view of the effects on the environment and human health, excluding only injury due to road traffic accidents. By looking across the environmental media, air, water and soil, and taking account also of noise pollution, the volume addresses far more than the conventional atmospheric issues. More importantly, however, it examines present and future vehicle technologies, the implications of more extensive use of batteries in electric vehicles and the consequences of recycling vehicles at the end of use. Finally, examples of life-cycle analysis as applied to road vehicles are reviewed. This book is a comprehensive source of authoritative information for students studying pollution, and for policy-makers concerned with vehicle emissions and road traffic impacts more generally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • In this urgent, authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical—and accessible—plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid a climate catastrophe. Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change. With the help of experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance, he has focused on what must be done in order to stop the planet's slide to certain environmental disaster. In this book, he not only explains why we need to work toward net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases, but also details what we need to do to achieve this profoundly important goal. He gives us a clear-eyed description of the challenges we face. Drawing on his understanding of innovation and what it takes to get new ideas into the market, he describes the areas in which technology is already helping to reduce emissions, where and how the current technology can be made to function more effectively, where breakthrough technologies are needed, and who is working on these essential innovations. Finally, he lays out a concrete, practical plan for achieving the goal of zero emissions—suggesting not only policies that governments should adopt, but what we as individuals can do to keep our government, our employers, and ourselves accountable in this crucial enterprise. As Bill Gates makes clear, achieving zero emissions will not be simple or easy to do, but if we follow the plan he sets out here, it is a goal firmly within our reach.
