Abstract

This project developed an interactive CD-ROM display for the purpose of illustrating successful projects under the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program. The information kiosk will be sent by FHWA to future environmental conferences held in the United States that focus on air quality and transportation improvements. Several CMAQ-funded projects will be highlighted through video clips, photos, interviews, and documentation provided as part of the CMAQ interactive kiosk display. Since its completion, the kiosk continues to function as an outreach tool.

Abstract

This paper was developed to advise field staff and others involved in nitrogen oxide (NOx) modeling. The first part of the paper is a memo discussing the background factors affecting NOx pollution levels, including such variables as vehicle speed and percentage of diesel vehicles in traffic. The second part describes certain modeling actions that can be taken to more accurately estimate the NOx levels based on the experience gained in efforts with various State DOTs and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs).
