Urban spaces have been designed for many years for the commuter to get from A to B in the shortest time possible, with the majority of journeys completed by motorised vehicles. Motorised vehicles and population density in urban areas contribute to the high levels of air pollution found in such spaces (Colvile et al., 2001). Cyclists are often exposed to high levels of air pollutants since they share spaces beside or very close to motorised vehicles. When exercising an individual's breathing rate increases and this could increase individual exposure to pollutants (Brand et al., 2019). In Scotland, Transport Scotland is committed to increasing the number of individuals actively commuting (walking and cycling) and it is believed that this could have a positive influence on tackling urban air pollution whilst improving public health (Luengo-Oroz & Reis, 2019). Route choice is an important factor to consider when considering a cyclist's exposure to air pollution (Hankey & Marshall, 2015), such exposure can have adverse health in the form of respiratory and cardiovascular problems. In this project, we will look at ways to develop technology to actively capture this accurately, the active traveller's route choice and the influence of pollution exposure on human health.

城市空间已经设计了多年，以使通勤者在最短的时间内从A到B，大部分旅程由机动车辆完成。城市地区的电动车辆和人口密度促进了在此类空间中发现的高水平的空气污染（Colvile等，2001）。骑自行车的人通常会暴露于高水平的空气污染物，因为它们在旁边或非常接近机动车辆的空间。当行使个人的呼吸率增加时，这可能会增加个人接触污染物的接触（Brand等，2019）。在苏格兰，苏格兰运输公司致力于增加积极通勤（步行和骑自行车）的个人数量，并且人们认为这可能会对解决城市空气污染有积极影响，同时改善公共卫生（Luengo-Oroz＆Reis，2019年）。在考虑骑自行车的人接触空气污染时，路线的选择是一个重要的因素（Hankey＆Marshall，2015年），这种暴露会以呼吸道和心血管问题的形式产生不良健康。在这个项目中，我们将研究开发技术以准确地积极捕获这一方法的方法，即主动旅行者的路线选择以及污染暴露对人类健康的影响。
