Abstract
In this paper we integrate the macroscopic traffic flow model METANET with the
microscopic dynamic emission and fuel consumption model VT-Micro. We use the
integrated models in the model predictive control (MPC) framework to reduce
exhaust emissions, fuel consumption, and travel time using dynamic speed limit
control. With simulation experiments we demonstrate the countereffects and
conflicting nature of the different traffic control objectives. Our simulation
results indicate that a model-based traffic control approach, particularly MPC,
can be used to obtain a balanced trade-off between the conflicting traffic
control objectives.
