Network-wide impacts of eco-routing strategies: A large-scale case study

This paper quantifies the system-wide impacts of implementing a dynamic eco-routing system, considering various levels of market penetration and levels of congestion in downtown Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio, USA. The study concludes that eco-routing systems can reduce network-wide fuel consumption and emission levels in most cases; the fuel savings over the networks range between 3.3% and 9.3% when compared to typical travel time minimization routing strategies. We demonstrate that the fuel savings achieved through eco-routing systems are sensitive to the network configuration and level of market penetration of the eco-routing system. The results also demonstrate that an eco-routing system typically reduces vehicle travel distance but not necessarily travel time. We also demonstrate that the configuration of the transportation network is a significant factor in defining the benefits of eco-routing systems. Specifically, eco-routing systems appear to produce larger fuel savings on grid networks compared to freeway corridor networks. The study also demonstrates that different vehicle types produce similar trends with regard to eco-routing strategies. Finally, the system-wide benefits of eco-routing generally increase with an increase in the level of the market penetration of the system.

城市快速路设置公交专用道作为缓解快速路交通拥堵的策略之一,受到了北京市交通部门的关注. 本文旨在利用先进的仿真技术对快速路公交专用道设置方案后的交通运行影响进行探讨. 文中选取北京市西三环快速路为研究对象,在考虑专用道设置区段、结构形式、站点结构、匝道交通组织以及公交线路调整的基础上,设计四个公交专用道方案并利用INTEGRATION模型开展仿真评价. 选取车辆行程速度、道路运行状态分布作为评价指标,结果显示：尽管道路设施及交通状况满足专用道设置条件,西三环运行指标却有所下降,无法发挥专用道功效. 分析其关键制约因素在于车辆分道行驶加大了匝道附近车辆换道、进出的难度,建议协调匝道控制和公交线路优化改善方案实施效果.     

中观交通仿真模型INTEGRATION及其案例应用

交通仿真模型可以分为宏观、中观、微观三类,中观交通仿真模型是一种能够兼顾宏观与微观模型优点的交通流动态仿真模型。国内对宏观、微观交通仿真模型已有很多研究,但是对于中观交通仿真模型的研究还很少。根据中观交通仿真模型INTEGRATION的模块构成及功能特点,将其应用于道路交通中,并结合实例加以分析,对于推动国内中观交通仿真模型的研究及国内路网规划的逐步完善具有重要的理论和实践意义,
