In a typical metropolitan area, it is normal to dissect it, based on land-use and zoning, into smaller geographic regions for the purposes of analysing trip movements and managing traffic volumes,. However, levels of pollution from adjacent zones would rarely, if ever, be considered during a project such as a traffic signal design for an intersection. So, in this paper we will explore the tenets of concurrent holistic-component dynamics (CHCD), its application within locality-scope and how the ability to view transportation networks as a whole and at the component level simultaneously and dynamically will improve system analysis and overall network performance.
