✦ Synopsis

Pollutants emitted by vehicles, noise pollution and other adverse eects on the environment can be measured in terms of the expected distance travelled. Various travel plans of vehicles going from a suburb to the city core or vice versa when each region is circular in nature and within these regions the starting and destination points are uniformly distributed have already been examined. In the present article the assumption of uniformity is relaxed and some general families of distributions are associated with the random points. Various travel plans and the expected distances are computed.
