A research associated with urban transportation was carried out in Rawalpindi and Islamabad to analyze
the status of emission of air pollutants and energy demands. The study included a discussion of past
trends and future scenarios in order to reduce the future emissions. A simple model of passenger
transport has been developed using computer based software called Long-Range Energy Alternatives
Planning System (LEAP). The LEAP model was used to estimate total energy demand and the vehicular
emissions for the base year 2000 and extrapolated till 2030 for the future predictions. Transport database
in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, together with fuel consumption values for the vehicle types and emission
factors of NOx, SO2 and PM10 corresponding to the actual vehicle types, formed the basis of the transport
demand, energy consumption and total emission calculations. Apart from base scenario, the model was
run under three alternative scenarios to study the impact of different urban transport policy initiatives
that would reduce energy demand and emissions in transport sector of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. The
prime objective was to arrive at an optimal transport policy, which limits the future growth of fuel
consumption as well as air pollution.
