Dr. Laura Minet presents “How Can We Minimize Population Exposure to Air Pollution?”
Online EventTitle: “How Can We Minimize Population Exposure to Air Pollution?” On-road transportation is the main source of air pollution in cities, and studying the influence of anthropogenic activities on air quality is essential for minimizing the impact of air pollution on human health. Air pollution is nevertheless a complex mixture of compounds reacting with each […]
Dr. Lama Alfaseeh presents “Prediction of Greenhouse Gas Emission in Downtown Toronto Using Deep Sequence Learning”
Online EventMitigating the substantial undesirable impact of transportation systems on the environment is paramount. Thus, predicting Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions is one of the profound topics, especially with the emergence of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). We developed a deep learning framework to predict link-level GHG emission rate (ER) (in CO2eq gram/second) based on the most representative […]
