Abstract
Due to increasing environmental concerns the focus of traffic management and
control is shifting towards optimizing the traffic control measures to also
reduce traffic emissions and fuel consumption. In this context we propose a
model-based predictive traffic control approach for the balanced reduction of
travel times, emissions, and fuel consumption for freeway networks, where not
only the local emissions are taken into account but also the dispersion of the
emissions to various target zones near the freeways. The core of the approach
is a new efficient model for describing the area-wide dispersion of the
emissions that is much faster than the models we have proposed in earlier
papers. We present a detailed description of the new so-called expanding
grid-based model and we embed it in a model-based predictive traffic control
approach using variable speed limits.
