Improve the Environment for a Livable Community: Advance the AERIS Program by Developing and Testing Eco-Traffic Signal System Applications
项目名称: Improve the Environment for a Livable Community: Advance the AERIS Program by Developing and Testing Eco-Traffic Signal System Applications
摘要: The main goal of this project is to improve the environmental performance of arterial system operations through developing and testing eco-traffic signal system control strategies. The project is also aimed at enhancing the modeling and evaluation tools for estimating transportation system environmental-based performance measures. It also aims at developing a framework for arterial system operations that addresses more reliable and rigorous techniques to model and assess the impact of signal control strategies on fuel consumption and emissions on signalized arterials. The ability of existing signal timing modeling tools to accurately and reliably estimate the impact of signal timing on fuel consumption and vehicular emissions will be examined as part of the project. Guidelines on how to integrate emission estimation tools with traditional traffic modeling and optimization tools to develop and test various signal timing strategies for arterial management will be developed. The impact of several eco-traffic signal system operational strategies, specifically those strategies developed and tested as part of the FHWA's ARIES program will be tested though microscopic simulation modeling environment. The research outcome should provide transportation professionals with a highly practical set of guidelines to improve signal timing procedures and arterial operations to reduce fuel consumption and vehicular emissions.
