• 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.
