Abstract: Urban traffic congestion and the resultant air pollution have become social and environmental problems that can't be ignored. Taking motor vehicles as an example, this paper introduces penalty mechanism to construct an improved model of motor vehicle pollutant emission reduction management. Through dynamic simulation, this paper explores the effects of different policies and schemes on the main variables, and then reveals the dividend effect of different strategies. The results show that:(1) Proper amount of fines can bring good economic and social benefits in such a way as to effectively reduce GDP depletion, inhibit illegal travel and ease off the traffic. (2) By comparing the effects of the three policies air pollution of charging fee (APCF), penalty and subsidy, it is found that:in terms of congestion mitigation, APCF > penalty > subsidy; in terms of reducing illegal motor vehicle travel, penalty > APCF > subsidy; in terms of emission reduction, APCF > subsidy > penalty; and the effects of subsidy and penalty are not obvious.

Key words: system dynamics, air pollution, traffic congestion, emission reduction, dividend effect
