Abstract

Problem statement. The quality of atmospheric air on territories, which are situated near to the highways depends on the levels of ingredient and parametric pollution, the growth of which depends on both traffic flow parameters and environmental factors. Chemicals, which get into the air of the territories, which are situated near to the highways, negatively affect on the health of inhabitants of dwelling zones. So the issue of analysis of the impact of ingredient and parametric pollution of automobile flows on the environment and development an effective system of decision-making on protection of the atmospheric air of the territories, which are situated near to the highways, is relevant. Analysis of publications and statement of purpose of research. Decisions on protection of dwelling zones should be based on urban, logistic and environmental conditions and to form effective control system of environmental protection. Also, the decision-making system for the protection of dwelling zones from the ingredient and parametric pollution should be based on the results of the risk assessment to the environment from the impact of highways (Environmental Risk), which involves the risk for human health (Human Health Risk) and environmental risk (Ecological Risk). Using the results of this assessment will allow to implement the effective security control of environment and to develop effective techniques for its protection. Results. The use of a maximin criterion in management decisions for the protection of the environment from the ingredient and parametric pollution from the highway is justified because the magnitude of the risk of erroneous actions is significantly decreases.
