and emissions," Proceedings of the 13th International IEEE

Abstract:
An integrated macroscopic traffic model is proposed, which integrates
a macroscopic urban traffic flow model with a microscopic traffic
emission model for individual vehicles. As a macroscopic model, the
integrated model is fast enough for on-line control purposes.
Nevertheless, the model can still capture the traffic emissions for
vehicles in different states compared with using a macroscopic traffic
emission model, because of the accuracy of the microscopic traffic
emission model. Model Predictive Control is applied to control urban
traffic areas based on the integrated traffic model, aiming at
reducing both travel delays and traffic emissions.
