TLDR
In this article, an integrated model for the prediction of exposure to traffic related air pollution in an urban area as a result of transport policy scenarios is presented. But, the model is not suitable for large-scale urban areas.Citations

Impact of transportation network companies on urban congestion: Evidence from large-scale trajectory data
TL;DR: The results show that the traffic condition is consistently worse across different times of the day and at different locations in NYC, and explain how the rise of TNC may impact traffic congestion in terms of moving speed and congestion time.

Unraveling environmental justice in ambient PM2.5 exposure in Beijing: A big data approach
Yanyan Xu,Yanyan Xu,Yanyan Xu,Shan Jiang,Ruiqi Li,Ruiqi Li,Jiang Zhang,Jinhua Zhao,Sofiane Abbar,Marta C. González,Marta C. González,Marta C. González +11 more
TL;DR: A big data analytics framework is introduced to model residents' stay and commuters' travel exposure to outdoor PM2.5 and evaluate their environmental justice, with Beijing as an example, finding that the residents from the southern suburbs of Beijing have both lower level of wealth and higher stay- and travel- exposure to PM 2.5, especially in the winter.

The potential impacts of different traffic management strategies on air pollution and public health for a more sustainable city: A modelling case study from Dublin, Ireland
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of a change in transport infrastructure, a traffic regulation change, speed limit changes and fleet composition changes on air quality and air pollution related public health were assessed.
An Examination of Population Exposure to Traffic Related Air Pollution: Comparing Spatially and Temporally Resolved Estimates Against Long-Term Average Exposures at the Home Location
TL;DR: The proposed dynamic modelling approach significantly improves the results of traditional methods that rely on a long-term average concentration at the home location and sheds light on the importance of using individual daily trajectories to understand exposure.

TL;DR: PRAISE-HK as discussed by the authors is based on real-time data on emissions, high resolution urban morphology, meteorology, physical and chemical processes affecting pollutant transport and transformations, and extensive measurements of air pollution concentrations in typical locations such as homes, schools, offices, and transportation, and big data integration of sensor monitoring to accurately estimate current and short-term forecasted street-level air quality.

TL;DR: In subjects with lower education and obese subjects a larger effect estimate for mortality related to fine PM was found, though the evidence for differences related to education has been weakened in more recent studies.

Public health benefits of strategies to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions: urban land transport

TL;DR: Climate change mitigation in transport should benefit public health substantially and policies to increase the acceptability, appeal, and safety of active urban travel, and discourage travel in private motor vehicles would provide larger health benefits than would policies that focus solely on lower-emission motor vehicles.

TL;DR: Evaluating impacts of active travel policies is highly complex; however, many associations can be quantified, and identifying health-maximizing policies and conditions requires integrated HIAs.

TL;DR: Significant evidence is found of a relationship between NO2, as a proxy for traffic-sourced air pollution exposure, with lung cancer, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer recently classified outdoor air pollution and particulate matter as carcinogenic.

Association of Long-term Exposure to Community Noise and Traffic-related Air Pollution With Coronary Heart Disease Mortality
TL;DR: There are independent effects of traffic-related noise and air pollution on CHD mortality, and subjects in the highest noise decile had a 22% increase inCHD mortality compared with persons in the lowest decile.
