Transport Modelling for Improved Environment: Engineering Education Studies of Environmental Impact and Customers Attitude

Abstract-- Global warming and recent technological advancements have had impacts on our environment. Air pollution worldwide is perceived largely to be one of the major causes of global warming. The greatest source of emissions has been established to be principally the automobiles. A gas such as carbon dioxide, which contributes to global warming, is recognized by scientists as one of the chief pollutants. A diverse school of thoughts exists. Some sees gas as being essential to life and have presented differing interpretation to gas being classed as a pollutant. However, road vehicles remain a major source of air pollution in urban areas. Results from recent research studies undertaken by AEA Energy and Environment group show that road vehicles are responsible for over half of the nitrogen dioxid
