Modeling Trip Duration for Mobile Source Emissions Forecasting
نویسندگان
چکیده
The distribution of the duration of trips in a metropolitan area is an important input to estimating area-wide running loss emissions, operating mode fractions and vehicle miles of travel (VMT) accumulated on local roads in the region. In the current paper, we formulate and implement a methodology for modeling trip durations. The approach develops a log-linear regression model of the duration of trips as a function of trip purpose, time-of-day of the trip start, and other landuse and socio-demographic characteristics of the zone of trip start, using vehicle trip data from household travel surveys and supplementary zonal demographic/land-use data. A distinguishing characteristic of the methodology is the straightforward manner in which model parameters estimated from vehicle trip data can be applied to obtain zonal-level trip duration distributions. The modeling framework is applied to develop trip duration distributions for the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas.

Title: MODELING SOAK-TIME DISTRIBUTION OF TRIPS FOR MOBILE SOURCE EMISSIONS FORECASTING: TECHNIQUES
The soak-time of vehicle trip starts is defined as the duration of time in which the vehicle’s engine is not operating and that precedes a successful vehicle start. The temporal distribution of the soak-time in an area is an important determinant of area-wide mobile source emissions. In the current paper, we formulate and implement a methodology for modeling soak-time durations. The methodology...
متن کاملTown trip forecasting based on data mining techniques
In this paper, a data mining approach is proposed for duration prediction of the town trips (travel time) in New York City. In this regard, at first, two novel approaches, including a mathematical and a statistical approach, are proposed for grouping categorical variables with a huge number of levels. The proposed approaches work based on the cost matrix generated by repetitive post-hoc tests f...
متن کاملDiscovering urban activity patterns in cell phone data
Massive and passive data such as cell phone traces provide samples of the whereabouts and movements of individuals. These are a potential source of information for models of daily activities in a city. The main challenge is that phone traces have low spatial precision and are sparsely sampled in time, which requires a precise set of techniques for mining hidden valuable information they contain...
متن کاملNumerical modeling of the effects of changing injection duration in double injection strategies in a DI diesel engine
Pollutant emissions from diesel engines are significantly affected by fuel injection strategies that could reduce NOx and Soot emissions. For the first time and in this study, numerical simulations were performed to consider the influences of changing the injection duration in each pulse of the double injection strategies on in-cylinder parameters and pollutant emissions. Results confirmed that...
متن کاملForecasting Dynamic Passenger Car Activity at Signalized Intersections for Enhanced Mobile Source Emission Modeling
Current research suggests that vehicle emission rates are highly correlated with modal vehicle activity and that specific instances of load-induced enrichment may contribute a disproportionate share of motor vehicle emissions. Consequently, researchers have been developing a variety of modal modeling approaches to transportation-related air quality modeling. Modal models predict emissions as a ...
