Development of Precise and Large-Scale Traffic Simulator for Estimating CO2 Emission Kitagawa, Eiji ; Ikeda, Takuro ; Yamada, Hiroshi

By: Contributor(s): Publication details: Bryssel ITS in daily life: 16th world congress and exhibition on intelligent transport systems and services, Stockholm 21-25 September 2009. Paper, 2009Description: 7 sSubject(s): Bibl.nr: VTI P1835:16 [World]Location: Abstract: The authors have developed a traffic simulator that enables the effect of large-area traffic policies to be estimated by using precise CO2 (carbon dioxide) emission values. To achieve CO2 emission simulation considering the road environment, driving behavior, and service reaction, the authors developed two technologies. The first is a precise vehicle model with an internal driver decision-making model and vehicle dynamics model. The second is a layered simulation architecture for reduced computational complexity. The authors confirmed that CO2 emission was reasonably estimated by evaluating the idling reduction and recommended speed notification service with a precise city-scale simulation on a distributed environment.
