(Buffer Time

Index*)

According to US FHWA (Federal Highway Administration), buffer time index

represents the percentage of extra buffer time (or time cushion) that most travelers

add to their average travel time when planning trips to ensure on-time arrival. The

higher the Buffer time index the more unreliable the roadway segment is.

Mapping City-Wide Air Quality is enabled by Game-Changing Sensory Technology 5

…. in relation to traffic, land-use, the built environment, and other related factors (e.g. metrology) in order to develop innovative policies and guidelines able toreduce the impact of traffic-related air pollution on health. Therefore DATA on air pollution, air quality, and traffic / human activities are needed.

New generation of small, portable, cheap air sensors could revolutionize pollutionmeasurements for citizen scientists and governments alike.

One effective way to improve public health in response to these unsustainable traffic-related pollutants is to better understand the spatialvariability of these pollutants
