“…COPERT4 is a computer model which estimates the emissions from road transport. COPERT4 is one of the most commonly used models in the European Union for estimating the emissions from road transport (Soylu, 2007). The details of the private fleet of vehicles used to estimate the savings in CO 2 were taken from the government vehicle registration records (Department of the Environment, Heritage, and Local Government, 2005).…”

Ride-sharing has often been cited as a successful method to reduce congestion and green house gas emissions. This paper examines the patterns of ride-sharing, in Dublin, and estimates the environmental benefits of ride-sharing both in terms of reductions in emissions and the total vehicle kilometres travelled. Data from the 2006 Census of Ireland is used in this paper to examine the travel patterns of those that ride-share. Ride-sharing in Dublin currently accounts for 4% of the total morning peak commute trips. The COPERT4 model is used in this paper to estimate the CO 2 emissions saved by ride-sharing.

“…Other sources include waste from burning engines in cars, fuel use in domestic sectors, oil boom, gas flaring, agricultural processes, but of all these the process industries have been recognized as the major source of air pollutants. The self-cleansing ability of the atmosphere which involves dispersion and dilution, is used as a grant channel, is presently too small and cannot match up to the rate of introduction of pollutants into the atmosphere, this is due to meteorological influences (Held et al, 2005;Potocnik et al, 2007;Soylu, 2007). During the 20 th century contamination of the environment as a result of human activities has risen drastically (Hussain et al, 2005;Abdulkareem et al, 2009).…”

Abstract. Air emissions related to the transportation sector has been identified as the second largest emitter of ambient air quality in Indonesia. This is due to large numbers of private vehicles commuting within the city as well as inter-city. A questionnaire survey was conducted in Semarang city involving 711 private vehicles consisting of cars and motorcycles. The survey was conducted in random parking lots across the Semarang districts and in vehicle workshops. Based on the parking lot survey, the average distance private cars travelled in kilometers (VKT) was 17,737 km/year. The machine start-up number of cars during weekdays; weekends were on average 5.19 and 3.79 respectively. For motorcycles the average of kilometers travelled was 27,092 km/year. The machine start-up number of motorcycles during weekdays and weekends were on average 5.84 and 3.98, respectively. The vehicle workshop survey showed the average kilometers travelled to be 9,510 km/year for motorcycles, while for private cars the average kilometers travelled was 21,347 km/year. Odometer readings for private cars showed a maximum of 3,046,509 km and a minimum of 700 km. Meanwhile, for motorcycles, odometer readings showed a maximum of 973,164 km and a minimum of roughly 54.24 km. Air pollutant emissions on East-West routes were generally higher than those on South-North routes. Motorcycles contribute significantly to urban air pollution, more so than cars. In this study, traffic congestion and traffic volume contributed much more to air pollution than the impact of fluctuating terrain.
