Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to propose a new two-class macroscopic
emission model to describe the pollutant emissions produced by freeway traffic.
The innovative aspect of the proposed model consists in considering the on-ramp
emissions, which are explicitly modeled for different traffic scenarios. Next,
a two-class local controller based on a ramp metering is reported with the aim
of minimizing emissions and congestion in the freeway system. The relevance of
the on-ramp emission model is in this way highlighted, since ramp metering may
lead to creation of queues at the entering on-ramps and hence a concentration
of pollutants on these on-ramps. Simulation results show the effectiveness of
the proposed control strategy for a case of study.
