This report describes research which investigates relationships between traffic signal settings and the effect they have on vehicle fuel consumption emissions levels and travels. Focus is on identifying a basis for deriving optimal, environmentally sensitive traffic control strategies. The DYNAMIC traffic assignment/simulation model is used for analyzing the environmental and travel time impacts of traffic control alternatives. Three scenarios are used for examining the behavior of emissions, fuel consumption and travel time variables against different operational objectives and traffic signal settings. |
