The project starts from a literature review of the topics from these aspects: the studies of emission models, the eco-driving applications for heavy-duty vehicles (Trucks), Eco-driving and signal control, the benefits from CAVs and Simulation using MOVES and VISSIM. The research on Multiclass/heterogeneous traffic modeling is also reviewed.

Show moreThe project starts from a literature review of the topics from these aspects: the studies of emission models, the eco-driving applications for heavy-duty vehicles (Trucks), Eco-driving and signal control, the benefits from CAVs and Simulation using MOVES and VISSIM. The research on Multiclass/heterogeneous traffic modeling is also reviewed. To define the problem, the research starts with the analysis of the influence the truck percentage has on the individual signalized intersection and on a coordinated signal corridor. The simulation results show the high percentage of heavy-duty vehicles in traffic may significantly degrade the signal control based on the concept of delay optimization mainly considering passenger cars. To solve the problem, an eco-driving strategy for freight mobility control at signalized intersections is introduced. It is by optimizing the travel time while maintaining optimal fuel consumptions and emissions. A two-level dynamic optimization is formulated. An emission weighted optimization is used to simulate vehicles passing the intersection with balanced travel time and emissions savings and compared to a baseline simulation without eco-driving consideration. A jerk penalty is added to ensure safety and comfort. Heavy-Duty Vehicles (HDVs) are the focus of this modeling effort. The emission term in the optimization used an instantaneous speed-acceleration based microscopic fuel consumption models and the results were validated by EPA's MOtor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) model. The results from this study showed that the weighting factor of the emission term in the objective function reaches an optimal at 0.5. Generally, the proposed method provided dynamic trajectories with slightly longer travel time than the baseline but reduce the emission at about 4% for Nitrogen oxide (NOx) and 7% for carbon dioxide (CO2) for different initial conditions (different distance approaching intersection). Based on the results, an optimal weighting factor of emission term and the range of distances to apply the eco-driving strategy are recommended. A case study is performed to simulate the recommended model, with varying HDV percentages. The test results showed an overall emission reduction of 6% for NOx and 6% for CO2 according to MOVES. To show the relationship between truck percentage and discharge rate, a multiply linear regression is conducted, and the results are shown in the appendix. The data in MOVES and the emission models used are also presented in the appendix.

- ENHANCEMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NETWORK ANALYSIS TOOLS FOR TRUCK-RELATED PLANNING AND OPERATIONS.
- Creator
- Washburn, Scott S., Sun, Wei, Freight Mobility Research Institute
- Abstract/Description
-
Freeway network analysis tools often use simplified link performance functions to relate travel time to traffic demand. Such functions are typically not sensitive to the level of commercial truck presence in the traffic stream are therefore of limited value in analyzing freeway network level operational policies that need to explicitly consider commercial truck traffic (e.g., truck lane restrictions or truck-only lanes). Furthermore, travel time reliability (TTR) is taking on increased...
Show moreFreeway network analysis tools often use simplified link performance functions to relate travel time to traffic demand. Such functions are typically not sensitive to the level of commercial truck presence in the traffic stream are therefore of limited value in analyzing freeway network level operational policies that need to explicitly consider commercial truck traffic (e.g., truck lane restrictions or truck-only lanes). Furthermore, travel time reliability (TTR) is taking on increased emphasis in traffic operations analyses. Microsimulation is a tool that can potentially be used for network-level analyses, but when combined with TTR analysis, the computational burden can be problematic. The Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) freeway facility TTR analysis methodology is less computationally intensive than microsimulation and is more sensitive to traffic stream vehicle composition than typical network analysis link performance functions. However, this methodology is currently only applicable at the facility, not network, level. This project extends the HCM freeway TTR analysis methodology to the network level by integrating user equilibrium (UE) traffic assignment. The proposed freeway network TTR analysis methodology generates scenarios that represent the impacts of origin-destination (OD) demand variation, weather events, incident events, and work zone events on the freeway network. For each scenario, UE traffic assignment is performed for the freeway network, and the method of successive average (MSA) is applied to solve the UE traffic assignment. Travel times (and/or other performance measures) obtained from all the scenarios are aggregated into various distributions of interest, such as the network-, facility-, and OD-level distributions, and TTR performance measures are calculated at the three different levels. In addition, a software tool was developed based on the revision and integration of two existing software programs. The software tool provides a convenient and efficient approach for transportation planners and researchers to conduct the freeway network TTR analysis methodology.
