'Andhra Pradesh'. Vijayawada Is the Biggest City in the Krishna ELK Asia Pacific Journals – Special Issue ISBN: 978-81-930411-5-4 DISSEMINATION OF AIR QUALITY STATUS IN SMART CITIES- A CASE STUDY Dr M V S RAJU G SIVA SANKAR Professor, Assistant professor Department of Civil Engineering Department of Civil Engineering V R Siddhartha Engineering College V R Siddhartha Engineering College Vijayawada Vijayawada ABSTRACT Vijayawada is one of the biggest cities of Andhra Pradesh even before separation of the state. Now it is considered as capital of newly formed Andhra Pradesh. There is a huge scope for lot of various activities in future being capital of Andhra Pradesh. Particulate matter and gaseous pollutants in the ambient atmosphere of Vijayawada are already increasing due to rapid increase in urbanization, congestion of roads, older vehicles and inadequate inspections of vehicles. Therefore there is a need to disseminate the status of air pollution in smart way to the public for their participation to mitigate the pollution. Air quality data is complex to understand for a common man. Nevertheless there is a necessity to report it to the public. Astonishingly little attention is paid to disseminate the information to the public, even though it is directly linked to the health of public. At the same time the dissemination of air quality data to the public should be simple and understandable. To meet the above an Air Quality Index (AQI) has been proposed to present the status of Vijayawada air quality. It is a rating scale in quantifying air pollution based on measured air pollutants for reporting daily status of pollution at a locality. In the present study, an Air Quality Index (AQI) has been calculated based on measured pollutants such as Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter (RSPM) and Total Suspended Particulate Matter (TSPM) at selected residential area of Vijayawada city in 2014. It has been observed that the overall AQI value in residential area of Vijayawada is moderate and the responsible pollutant is RSPM. Keywords: Air Quality Index, Air Quality Standards, Pollution 1.

The number of vehicles has electricity from coal, oil or gas that contains increased by 15 per cent in the last year, as sulphur. Some mineral ores also contain per official records. Older vehicles are also sulphur, and sulphur dioxide is released predominant in Vijayawada. Large number when they are processed. In addition, of two stroke two wheelers and old trucks industrial activities that burn fossil fuels in the city are significant contributors of air containing sulphur can be important pollution. Inadequate inspection and sources of sulphur dioxide.

  • ROAD SAFETY AUDIT in VIJAYAWADA CITY P Hari Bharadwaj1, J Sowjanya2
    ROAD SAFETY AUDIT IN VIJAYAWADA CITY P Hari Bharadwaj1, J Sowjanya2. 1* M.Tech Student, MVR College of Engineering & Technology, Kanchikacherla, India. 2* Assistant Professor, MVR College of Engineering & Technology, Kanchikacherla, India. ABSTRACT Growth in urbanization and number of vehicles lead to traffic countries of world for over fifty years. It is only in the past decade that developing countries like India have been to experience large increase in number of road accidents taking place and have found it necessary to institute road safety programs, because of rapid urbanization in the road traffic. It is strongly felt that most of accidents, being a multi factor event, are not merely due to drivers fault, on account of driver’s negligence or ignorance of traffic rules and regulations, junctions, but also due to many other related factors such as the changes in road conditions, traffic flow characteristics, road users behaviour, climate conditions, speed and absence of traffic guidance, necessary awareness among the people accessing the facility. Systematic road safety program would require special attention, as up gradation of total network would be time consuming apart from requiring huge financial resources, which may be difficult to mobilize, the quick and cost effective step in improving road safety may be to identify accident-prone locations and improve them instead of improving the complete network. Most of the road environment factors can be modified by appropriate and timely remedial measures. Therefore attention has been focused to determine the effects of road geometry on accidents. Models are built with the accident rate as a dependent variable and road geometrical parameters such as width of carriageway, unpaved shoulder width, horizontal curves, access points and junctions as independent variables.

  • Geotechnical Site Characterization for Vijayawada Urban
    GEOTECHNICAL SITE CHARACTERIZATION FOR VIJAYAWADA URBAN Akhila Manne Research Assistant, Earthquake Engineering Research Centre International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad Gachibowli, Hyderabad-32, Email:[email protected] Neelima Satyam D Assistant professor, Earthquake Engineering Research Centre International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad Gachibowli, Hyderabad-32, Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Geographical statistics of India show that almost 54% of the land is vulnerable to earthquakes, which insists on the immediate call for the Seismic Hazard Anlaysis of different regions of the country. Even though the zoning of the country has been done it offers a very vague idea of the earthquake hazard in any particular region due to the lack of database in India with regard to the earthquakes prior to historical period.Geotechnical Site Characterisation is an important task in the Seismic Hazard Analysis for finding out the soil startification. In this paper, the region of interest is Vijayawada city which falls in zone III according to IS 1893: 2002. It is the 34 th largest town in India (population wise), and the 3rd largest town in Andhra Pradesh. Using the borehole data collected, soil profiles and the grain size distribution curves have been developed. The predmominant soil in all the Northern, Eastern, Western and Southern parts of the city have been found out.Using this data, the locations that may be prone to liquefaction are also identified. 1.
