Mitigating Emissions and Energy Consumption for Urban Transportation Networks : Simulation - Based Signal Control Strategies ARcHWS
Microscopic urban traffic simulators embed the most detailed traveler behavior and network supply models. They represent individual vehicles and can therefore account for vehicle-specific technologies. These simulators can be coupled with instantaneous energy consumption and emissions models to yield detailed network-wide estimates of energy consumption and pollutant emissions. Nonetheless, the...
متن کاملOptimizing Traffic Control to Reduce Fuel Consumption and Vehicular Emissions Integrated Approach with VISSIM, CMEM, and VISGAOST
continuous progression along streets do not guarantee the lowest fuel consumption and emissions. Excessive speeding, which may occur on roads with low traffic, may cause increased emissions for several pollutants. The best flow of traffic on arterial streets, in terms of fuel consumption and emissions, is the one with the fewest stops, shortest delays, and moderate speeds maintained throughout ...
متن کاملEstimation of greenhouse gases emissions from urban traffic: a case study of Hamadan city
Background and Objective: Transportation sector generates the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions (CO2 and CH4) which causes global warming. “Stop-and-go” driving and congested traffic flow results in a decrease in average car speeds, an increase in traffic incidents, and finally escalates GHGs emissions. Hence, congestion is directly related to carbon emissions. The objective of this stu...
متن کاملLow Emissions and Delay Optimization for an Isolated Signalized Intersection Based on Vehicular Trajectories
A traditional traffic signal control system is established based on vehicular delay, queue length, saturation and other indicators. However, due to the increasing severity of urban environmental pollution issues and the development of a resource-saving and environmentally friendly social philosophy, the development of low-carbon and energy-efficient urban transport is required. This paper first...
متن کاملDriving patterns as a contributing factor to light-duty vehicular emission in the Kumasi metropolis
Exhaust emissions contribute greatly to air pollution, the social cost of which may occur as danger to human health, attracting huge medical expenses, causing absenteeism and hence loss of productivity. These are incentives to reduce exhaust emissions to the barest minimum. Two major cities in Ghana, Accra and Kumasi, are struck by vehicular traffic jams especially during rush-hours and are gra...
