Abstract:Currently, strategies are being examined with regard to their potential for mitigating the negative
impacts of the surface transportation sector on the environment. The focus of this study is to
evaluate an ITS (intelligent transportation systems)-based strategy that involves providing route
guidance to travelers. The objective of this route guidance is the minimization of emissions and a
reduction of or fuel consumption, as opposed to the traditional objective of minimizing travel
times. Specifically, this study conducts an assessment, using a real-world case study, of the likely
environmental benefits of environmentally-based route guidance (green routing). Results indicate
that such routing could result in significant reductions in emissions, but that this may come at the
expense of increased travel time.
