Abstract
We present a framework to integrate macroscopic traffic flow models with
microscopic emission and fuel consumption models. Since macroscopic traffic
flow models do not provide the acceleration as an output, while microscopic
emission and fuel consumption models require both the instantaneous speeds and
accelerations as input, we describe how to generate these variables. In
particular, we consider the macroscopic traffic flow model METANET and the
microscopic emission and fuel consumption model VT-micro. In order to integrate
these models, we propose a method to generate from the METANET model the
spatial and temporal speed-accelerations pairs and the number of vehicles
subject to them, which are required as input by VT-micro. The integration of
the models results in a new macroscopic emission and fuel consumption model
called the VT-macro model.
