Outline • Background • Methodology • Results and Discussion • Conclusion and recommendations
Background (1) • Indonesia has 34 automatic monitoring stations installed in 10 cities not enough (data on number of big cities) • Monitoring can not cover spatial variations, e.g., hotspots in urban area health risk of short term exposure can not be evaluated • Vehicle emission is one of the most significant source of pollution that could be controlled with traffic management
Background (2) • Continuous automatic monitoring is ideal but……. • Not enough equipment to cover the spatial variation • problem in operation and maintenance costs 87 sites 34 34 sites
Objectives • To identify and examine parameters to be monitored at hotspots such as road-side in order to optimize urban air quality monitoring system • To analyze the characteristic of road-side air quality as major information for service improvement with strategic traffic management
Methodology • Continuously measure of 30-minute average concentration of CO, PM10, NO, NO2, SO2, and O3 at 5 road-side locations in Jakarta and 3 sites in Bandung using mobile monitoring for 1 week • Analysing hourly and daily exceedances of pollutants • Examining diurnal pattern of pollutant parameters in conjunction with traffic pattern • Evaluating some options of traffic management LOCATIONS OF MONITORING
Results and Discussion: Exceedances Hourly and daily exceedances during one-week monitoring Hourly exceedances: NO2 at 3 out of 5 location in Jakarta and 1 location in Bandung Daily exceedances: - NO2 at all location in Jakarta and 1 location in Bandung - PM10 at 2 locations in Jakarta Number in red showing number of exceedances occured
Results and Discussion: Pollutant Parameters • NO2 is the parameter that shows more exceedances, both hourly and daily • PM10 has daily exceedances • PM10 and O3 are known as the critical parameter found in PSI (MoE, 2006) PM10 were found to be high at urban sites, and O3 at sub-urban sites (Driejana, 2003) Health impact of NO2 short-term exposure in urban area has been overlooked
Result and Discussion: Diurnal variation NOx • Influence of traffic on NOx variation, but concentration still comply with hourly standard • Need ambient monitoring to monitor traffic emission but do not need a real-time or short term exposure one • Can be monitored by more economical approach such as passive sampler • Hourly exceedances occurred • May need short-term exposure monitoring • Needs emission control from traffic activity
Results and Discussion: Categorization of compliance • Does not exceed standards • Exceed the hourly AAQ standard only during certain period of time • Exceed the hourly AAQ standard ambient for most of the time of the day • Exceed the daily AAQ standard
Discussion: Traffic Management Options • Link • Reduce/eliminate side friction (p) • One/two system (t) • Road widening (p) • Intersection • Signaling (for un-signalized intersection) (p) • Re-setting (for signalized intersection) (p) • Approach geometric improvement (p) • Traffic • Sorting (t) • Re-routing (Public Transport) (t) • Limiting (t) Notes: p = permanent scheme ; t = temporary
Discussion: Example of TM scheme Temporary TM Scheme Implementation Period
Conclusion and Recommendations (1) • Available mobile monitoring can be utilised for screening the location and parameter to be monitored • Selected monitoring for certain parameter based on priority will reduce the cost, while allowing better spatial coverage • Roadside is a hotspot for NOx, the hourly exceedances are overlooked by the current reporting method • Roadside data can be used to determine and evaluate traffic management scheme applied in the polluted area
Conclusion and Recommendations (2) • Air pollution parameters and its related traffic parameters define traffic management objective (volume and speed) • The objective determine the suited traffic management scheme • Temporary scheme solutions (one way system, 3 in 1, traffic signal re-setting, sorting and re-routing of public transport) are suitable for controlling hourly concentration exceedance • Permanent scheme solutions (reducing/eliminating side friction, widening, signaling, geometric improvement) should be used for controlling frequent hourly and daily concentration exceedance
