In this report, researchers measured how effectively soundwalls and vegetation barriers mitigated air pollution near freeways.

Exposure to traffic-related air pollution is rarely considered in the process of bike infrastructure planning. This oversight can have negative impacts on bicyclists given they are directly exposed to vehicular exhaust and experience an increased breathing rate during biking.

The Integrated Transport and Health Impact Model tool helps planners anticipate transportation-related health impacts.

This study approaches the problem of quantifying the network sensor errors as a supervised learning problem and leveraging deep neural networks to map observed traffic flow counts to the systematic errors in the sensors. The author aims at building a model that could reconstruct the erroneous flow irrespective of the level of random noise in the sensors, which is unknown in the real-world.

This policy brief summarizes findings from a project that created a tool to investigate the distribution of public health impacts resulting from the implementation of a regional transportation plan in the six-county Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) region.
