This paper describes a Matlab-based emissions and fuel consumption model customized for the City of Edmonton. The City needs a tool to quantify the environmental effects of planned transportation control and urban development measures. The CALMOB6 program calculates emissions and fuel consumption effects of proposed developments or regulations before they are implemented, aiding in selecting the most suitable project. The program handles the criteria air pollutants (carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons and particulates) and greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide and methane), as well as fuel consumption rates for vehicles operating in an urban region.
