“…Ganguly and Broderick (2008) found a reasonable level of agreement between the CALINE results and measurements based on graphical and statistical analysis. Ganguly et al (2009) found that the model was in good accordance to in situ measurements. Broderick et al (2005) validated the model for CO with results within ± 50% of the measurements.…”

RESUMENEn este trabajo se estudió el tráfico vehicular en las inmediaciones de la ruta provincial número 7 entre las ciudades de Neuquén y Centenario, y su efecto sobre la calidad del aire. Se calcularon los niveles de concentración de monóxido de carbono, óxidos de nitrógeno y dióxido de azufre, a partir de datos periódicos de flujo vehicular considerando velocidades promedio por sectores, características de los vehículos en circulación y datos meteorológicos para un periodo de cinco años (2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009). Los cálculos se realizaron mediante el modelo de dispersión gaussiano para fuentes lineales CALINE, empleado para el cálculo de niveles de contaminación en áreas cercanas a autopistas y calles. En los casos analizados dentro del área de estudio las concentraciones críticas no superaron los límites establecidos por la legislación nacional argentina ni la internacional vigente. Los resultados describen el impacto sobre receptores cercanos a la ruta en áreas que comprenden un parque industrial y un área de producción frutícola. La vía analizada presenta intenso tránsito vehicular que superó los 14 000 vehículos por día durante el año 2007. En un periodo de cinco años, el incremento del tráfico diario ascendió a 12%. La mayor concentración en aire de los gases analizados se produjo durante el periodo invernal, en horas matutinas y en el sector de la ruta en que los vehículos aminoraban su velocidad en una zona de peaje, situación que en la actualidad se habría modificado en beneficio de la calidad del aire debido a la eliminación de la estación de peaje. ABSTRACT Vehicle traffic and its effects on air quality were analyzed on the surroundings of provincial route No. 7 between the cities of Neuquén and Centenario. Concentration levels of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide were estimated for a period of five years (2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)) through regular data of traffic flow, considering average speeds per sector, the characteristics of vehicles in circulation and meteorological data. Calculations were made by applying CALINE, a line source Gaussian dispersion model developed for predicting pollution levels near highways and arterial streets. In the cases analyzed within the area of study, critical concentrations of gases did not exceed the limits established by Argentinean regulations nor current international standards. The results describe the impacts on receptors located near the route in areas that comprise both industrial and agricultural activities. The route analyzed presents high vehicular traffic with more than 14 000 vehicles traveling daily during 2007. Within a five-yr period, daily traffic increased by 12%. The study revealed that the highest concentration of gases occurred during the winter season in morning hours, when vehicles decreased their velocity at a toll area. This situation may have been modified in behalf of air quality due to the removal of the toll station.

CALINE4 model often considered as a reference model against which various other atmospheric models are tested (Ganguly et al, 2009). According to Méline et al (2011), CALINE4 is considered suitable for modelling air pollution in fairly flat terrain (Pitts, 2004).…”

The present paper presents a review of vehicular pollution dispersion models with particular focus on CALINE4 model. The CALINE4 model is one of the most extensively used model for prediction of vehicular pollution along highways/roads. The CALINE4 model is easy handing and less input data requirement makes it useful for screening purposes. The paper also briefly discusses about the performance evaluation, sensitivity analysis of CALINE4 model along with uncertainty due to limitations in terms of input data provided in CALINE4 model's output.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Dhyani, R. and Sharma, N.

Air quality modelling plays an important role in formulating air pollution control and management strategies by providing guidelines for better and more efficient air quality planning. Several air quality dispersion models are used to evaluate the urban air quality. The performance and efficiency of an air quality model are mainly depends upon the accurately interpretations of the complex interactions between various atmospheric, emission and topographic parameters involved in the air pollution problem. In this paper, four state-of art air quality models like AERMOD, ADMS-Urban, ISCST3 and CALINE4 and two codes i.e. GFLSM and DFLSM (based on Gaussian principle) have been used to predict the air quality of an urban intersection of Delhi city, India, followed by their performance evaluation. These models are applied to predict the concentration of Carbon monoxide (CO), Nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) and PM 2.5 (size less than 2.5 micron) which are one of the major components of vehicular exhaust emissions. The performance of all models/codes have been evaluated using standard statistical descriptor like Index of Agreement
