Abstract
Traffic control approaches based on on-line optimization require fast and
accurate integrated models for traffic flow, emission, and fuel consumption. In
this context, one may want to integrate macroscopic traffic flow models with
microscopic emission and fuel consumption models, which can result in shorter
simulation times with fairly accurate estimates of the emissions and fuel
consumption. In general, however, macroscopic traffic flow models and
microscopic emission and fuel consumption models cannot be integrated with each
other. We provide a general framework to integrate these two kinds of models.
We illustrate the approach by considering the macroscopic traffic flow model
METANET and the microscopic emission and fuel consumption model VT-micro,
resulting in the so called the "VT-macro" model. Moreover, we characterize
analytically the error introduced by the VT-macro model relative to the
original VT-micro model. We further present an empirical analysis of the error
and the computation time based on calibrated models of the Dutch A12 freeway.
