Emissions impacts of transit signal prioritisation

摘要: The environmental implications of transport planning and infrastructure have become an important consideration across the last decade. Significant research has been carried out to identify methods reduce impact transportation systems, in particular surface on environment. Transit signal prioritisation widely used throughout mass-transit systems ensure schedule adherence delays for transit vehicles, primarily buses at a minimised cost other vehicles network. However these do not take into level emissions created by scenario. paper demonstrates standard Signal Priority (TSP) application simulated using microsimulation tool, Paramics corridor network El Camino Real, CA. Environmental performance data was collected modelling tool “Paramics Monitor” results simulation indicate that even though levels busses reduce, overall tend increase with implementation TSP. Accordingly study further proposes methodology determination real time optimisation model primary aim minimise (emissions fuel consumption). In words, this will future result development Eco-Transit Prioritisation application. provision priority considers number parameters including vehicle’s location, speed, vehicle type as well (such greenhouse gasses) consumption. addition passengers board also serve factors affecting both experienced.
