Research Output
MOVES model for idling emission of signalised junction in developing country.
  Purpose
The purpose of this paper is estimation of total emission during idling of vehicles and validate emission results from real-world data.

Design/methodology/approach

MOVES201b emission model is customized for developing country like India and a case study of the Ashram intersection in Delhi has been selected in order to measure the emissions of vehicles during idling

Findings
Results show that 3.997 mg/m3 of hydrocarbon, 1.82 mg/m3 of NOx, and 17.688 mg/m3 of carbon monoxide is emitted from the cars, trucks and buses respectively at Ashram intersection in one day. As there are 600 intersections throughout Delhi, a total of 2398.055 mg/m3 of hydrocarbon, 1087.068 mg/m3 of NOx, and 10612.612 mg/m3 of carbon monoxide is emitted from cars, trucks and buses in a day in all of Delhi.

Originality/value

Knowledge of idling emission and fuel loss is very little for Indian traffic condition during delays
