Develop Multi-Scale Energy and Emission Models |
摘要: |
The proposed project develops a tool for the assessment of short-term and medium-term effects of network-level traffic-flow improvement projects on energy consumption and environment. Current state-of-the-art models estimate vehicle fuel consumption and emissions based on simple vehicle trip characteristics. While this approach has been widely utilized by transportation planners/engineers for the evaluation of network-wide impacts on energy consumption and environment, it is not efficient for the evaluation of energy and environmental impacts of short-term and medium-term effects of network-level traffic-flow improvement projects, including Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications. This tool can be utilized to evaluate the energy and environmental impacts of alternative transportation-related projects prior to their implementation in the field and possibly reduce the adverse impacts of transportation projects on energy consumption and environment. |
