Dynamic Traffic Light Control Scheme for Reducing Co2 Emissions Employing Etc Technology

چکیده
With the increasing growth of vehicle numbers in the world, Global warming is becoming a serious issue. Vehicle CO2 emissions are considered to be one of the main sources of global warming. In order to reduce vehicles CO2 emissions, a dynamic traffic light control scheme is proposed. In the proposed scheme, we are the first to use Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) devices to obtain real time traffic flow information for a traffic control centre. By the proposed scheme, vehicles can pass through intersections with less waiting time and fewer numbers of stops. By smoothing vehicle travel, CO2 emissions can be reduced. Compared with fixed time control, the simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme has much better performance: vehicle average waiting time is greatly reduced and CO2 emissions can also be reduced.

Etc Assisted Traffic Light Control Scheme for Reducing Vehicles’ Co2 Emissions
This paper presents a vehicle’s CO2 emission reduction scheme by an ETC-assisted real-time traffic light control scheme in vehicular networks. Using Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) devices, real-time road conditions can be obtained by wireless communication between the ETC devices and the traffic lights. A decision tree classification algorithm is used to assign the changing policy for the tra...
متن کاملModel Based Traffic Light Control For Reducing CO2 Emissions In Vehicles
Generally, vehicles’ stop-and-go driving will consume more fuel and emit more co2 than constant speed of vehicles .To reduce vehicles’ CO2 emissions vehicles’ travel should be smoothed by reducing the stop-and-go times. In this paper, three techniques are proposed to realize dynamic traffic light control for smoothing vehicles’ travel. In technique-1, an intelligent transportation system (ITS) ...

Real-time optimization of traffic flow addresses important practical problems: reducing a driver’s wasted time, improving city-wide efficiency, reducing gas emissions, and improving air quality. Many current implementations and research studies that address traffic signal control construct a light controller’s program (whether adaptive or static) by segmenting the day into divisions in which di...

Heterogeneous small-cell networks (HetSNets) are considered as a standard part of the future mobile networks in which multiple low-power, low-cost user deployed base stations complement the existing macrocell infrastructure. This paper proposes an energy efficient deployment of the small-cells where the small-cell base stations are arranged around the edge of the reference macrocell and the dep...
