Pollutants accumulated on roads during dry periods
are washed off the surface during rainfall events,
presenting a potentially hazardous non-point
pollution source. Estimation of pollutant loads in
these runoff waters is required for developing
mitigation strategies, yet the numerous factors
involved and their complex interconnected influences
make straightforward assessment impossible. Data
driven models are especially suitable for this task.
The book starts with a review of pollutants in
highway runoff and their environmental effects,
followed by an account of the sources of...
