Traffic Road Emission Estimation Through Visual Programming Algorithms and Building Information Models: A Case Study

Emissions from transportation have a severe impact on the current climate crisis. Therefore, the estimation of these pollutants requires precise measurements that integrate both traffic and vehicle fleet information within a specific country or area. However, the current estimation tools continue us...
