Abstract
Refining transportation mobility and improving the living environment are two
important issues that need to be addressed in urban traffic. In order to reduce
traffic delays as well as traffic emissions for urban traffic networks, this
paper first proposes an integrated macroscopic traffic model that integrates a
macroscopic urban traffic flow model with a microscopic traffic emission model
for individual vehicles. This integrated model is able to predict the traffic
flow states, as well as the emissions released by every vehicle at different
operational conditions, i.e. the speed and the acceleration. Then, Model
Predictive Control is applied to control urban traffic networks based on this
integrated traffic model, aiming at reducing both travel delays and traffic
emissions of different gases. Finally, simulations are performed to assess this
multi-objective control approach. The obtained simulation results illustrate
the control effects of the model predictive controller.
