AbstractTransportation networks respond differently to applied policies. The Tehran Metropolitan Area has one of the most complex networks with complex users, which has experienced many of these policies change within the past decades. In this study, some of these policies and their effect on air pollution is investigated. The goal is to pinpoint the variables which have the most effect on various transportation models and investigate how new policies should be focused. In order to do so, long-term variations of air pollution monitoring stations were analyzed. Results show that the most significant parameter that may affect air pollution is users' behavior due to the lack of a public transportation network and its level of comfort. The results of this study will be useful in developing new policies and evaluating their long-term consequences in appropriate models.

Counteracting the effects of air quality degradation is one of the main challenges in large cities today. To achieve such a goal, the first step is to control the emissions of various pollutant gases which in turn requires their concentrations to be measured such that proper methods can be applied. In this work we present a low cost urban air pollution monitoring system which we developed as proof-of-concept in Timisoara, Romania. The proposed solution is a Vehicular Sensor Network (VSN), with affordable midclass sensor nodes being installed on moving vehicles, ideally on the public transportation busses. The system measures temperature, humidity, the concentration of CO2 and dust, along with Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). The aim of collecting weather data is to build correlations between air pollution levels and different weather conditions. In addition to technical constraints for measuring air quality, one of the challenges that we address is to implement secure transmissions between the devices. This raises several difficulties on microcontrollers that we use due to their low memory and computational resources. To answer both privacy and security issues, the proposed data transmission protocol of the measuring system, builds upon a modified version of the Station to Station (STS) protocol which allows secure tunnelling in an anonymous manner.

This paper conducts in-depth research and analysis on the commonly used models in the simulation process of air pollutant diffusion. Combining with the actual needs of air pollution, this paper builds an air pollution system model based on neural network based on neural network algorithm, and proposes an image classification method based on deep learning and Gaussian aggregation coding. Moreover, this paper proposes a Gaussian aggregation coding layer to encode image features extracted by deep convolutional neural networks. Learn a fixed-size dictionary to represent the features of the image for final classification. In addition, this paper constructs an air pollution monitoring system based on the actual needs of the air system. Finally, this article designs a controlled experiment to verify the model proposed in this article, uses mathematical statistics to process data, and scientifically analyze the statistical results. The research results show that the model constructed in this paper has a certain effect.
