Using GPS data to calculate the ecological impact of road transport on the ecosystem of symbiotic megacities

Abstract

The article analyzes the various models used to assess the environmental impact of transport on the ecosystem of cities, developed a software product for automating the methodology for calculating emissions from road transport based on those developed at the Belarusian National Technical University using GPS tracks. Some results of the application of the methodology for assessing environmental losses in road traffic in cities are given with the application to the geomap of a specific section of the road network. Recommendations are given for further improvement of the proposed methodology for assessing environmental losses from transport in the city’s ecosystem.
