Optimization of Air Flow while Using Roadside Protective Shildings in the Urban Highway System

Abstract

Main calculation issues of roadside protective shildings were described. On the basis of the developed visual diagnostics method of air flow structure, a special configuration of protective shildings (discrete shields) was proposed to take into account peculiarities of the movement structure of polluted air stream over the roadway platform.

“…In Ref. [ 79 ], we also proposed protective roadside barriers of a special configuration in the form of discrete shields. Unfortunately, in Ukraine, the use of roadside shields (which are a mandatory attribute of highways in Europe and other countries) is at an early stage.…”
