Air pollution modelling software performance comparison - A case study of Komárom road

Abstract

Recent economic development in many countries has shown an increase in the number of vehicles in urban areas, which further results in an increase in pollutant emissions. This paper presents the results of modelling the simulation of carbon monoxide (CO) distribution in ambient air on roads in Komárom in Hungary. The modelling was performed in two modelling software in ADMS and IMMI software. This paper presents a case study of air pollution of bypass road No. 131 in Komárom, Hungary. Modelling in IMMI software was done before and after the construction of the bypass road, based on the simulation in IMMI software, the new bypass helps reduce pollutant emissions in the city. To compare the modelled concentrations from the IMMI software, a comparative analysis was performed with ADMS software. The analysis showed that there is a difference between the concentrations from both software.
