The tunnels built in recent years are equipped with traffic counters and pollution sensors (mostly, CO and Vl sensors). Utilizing these built-in sensors, it is possible to develop an algorithm to estimate the amount of pollutants exhausted from the each class of cars passing through the tunnel. These estimated data can be effectively utilized not only for ventilation control but also for designing ventilation facilities. The diffusion of pollutants in a tunnel can be described with one-dimensional diffusion-convection equation. This equation is approximated with interpolation functions and weighted residual method converting to adequate form for standard state estimate algorithms. With this converted equations, a least square optimization based algorithm is developed, whose outputs are the estimated amounts of pollutants emitted from each class of cars. In order to verify the feasibility of the developed algorithms, simulations are performed with the real data acquisitioned from the Tunnae tunnel located in Young-Dong highway in Korea.
