Summary There are two purposes of this study. One is to build a framework of the system collecting and analyzing system the data measured at air quality monitoring stations installed by national road administrators. Another is to estimate the environmental impact on road side air quality caused by road traffic, in order to evaluate measures set by road administrators. In FY 2005, we collected the air quality data at 80 monitoring stations, and analyzed the relation among traffic conditions, meteorological conditions, and air pollutants concentration.
