Statement of Need of Passenger Electric Transport Development in Metropolis from the Viewpoint of Environmental Efficiency (by the Example of City of Perm)

Abstract

By 2011 around of 60% of metropolises of Russia, where lived more than 59 M people, have high and very high level of air pollution. Common denominator of Metropolises is a large volume of emissions from traffic flow. That is why we need often carry out actions on control and analysis of traffic influence on ecology. Based on research findings were calculated pollutants emissions into atmospheric air of City of Perm from the public passenger transport and was assessed environmental damage from given emissions. There was draw conclusion that public passenger transport has substantial influence on atmospheric air pollution in City of Perm, and use of environmentally compatible passenger transport (tram, trolley-bus) decreases value of environmental damage.
