“…A subsequent study by Abhijith and Gokhale (2015) expanded upon this work for a wider street canyon (H/W ¼ 0.5) and found maximum improvements of up to 28%. Gallagher et al (2013) compared previous results from a generic modelling study to a real-world scenario and the results only showed an improvement in air quality of up to 15% when the parking bays were fully occupied.…”

“…Perpendicular and central parking bays demonstrated improvements and deteriorations in air quality for different wind conditions unlike parallel parking (Abhijith and Gokhale, 2015;Gallagher et al, 2011). The spacing between vehicles and the occupancy rate of the parking bays influenced air quality on the footpaths and the development of the vortex in the street (Gallagher et al, 2011).…”

“…Furthermore, preliminary research suggests that the potential to combining these porous barriers with solid barriers may provide the best solution to improving air quality.

“…Most recently, a modelling study by Abhijith and Gokhale (2015) examined the combined effect of porous and solid (parallel parked cars) barriers by considering the dispersion of a tracer gas in a street canyon. The results showed that improvements of up to 19% on the windward footpath in parallel winds in the street, yet substantial deteriorations in air quality of 105% in perpendicular wind conditions.…”

Due to increasing population and rising income level, most of the metropolitan cities in the world are facing problems of congestion and pollution. It is high time proper steps were taken to prevent the unbearable congestion and pollution that might occur in the near future. Before taking the mitigation measures, it is important to find out or estimate the level of congestion and pollution. Hence, the study has been conducted to assess the present and future pollution and congestion level for a highly congested Worli Road Network, Mumbai. Level of service analysis has been done for all the roads in the network to find out the congestion level. The impact of the traffic was quantified in terms of Volume/Capacity (V/C) ratio, for the coming 20 years in 10-year intervals. The years in which any road was reaching its theoretical capacity was also identified. USEPA AERMOD has been used with proper evaluation of the model results to model the concentration of air pollutants for present and future scenario. Through the predicted results of congestion and air pollution in future, some mitigation measures are suggested.
