Fuel Consumption And Emission Modeling For Urban Scenarios
نویسندگان
چکیده
Traffic simulation systems are widely used for the prediction of certain effects like traffic jam formation or the analysis of performance for new traffic light systems. Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are important measurements. This work integrates a physical model for fuel consumption into a microscopic traffic simulation system for urban scenarios. The parameters of the model are discussed and practical values are given. The model is evaluated on different scenarios with focus on innercity simulation. The results indicate that the simulation of bicycles and pedestrians as well as the usage of a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) increase fuel consumption of simulated cars. A map of CO2 emissions for the chosen simulation area is calculated and provides an insight on how emissions are distributed in cities.
