Abstract:The goal of this report is to present an overview of the state of the practice for techniques that could be used to
evaluate the environmental impacts of ITS deployments enabled by real-time communications. Commercial freight
and public transit applications are considered as well as applications affecting private passenger vehicles. This report
will be used along with other AERIS Track 1 projects to help evaluate potential applications and strategies for future
development and testing.
The paper discusses the state of the practice in three general methods of evaluation: direct measurement of vehicle
emissions, infrastructure-based air quality measurements, and modeling. The paper then reviews 41 recent papers
that exemplify how these evaluation techniques have been used to measure or predict environmental impacts. For
each paper the review presents purpose, background, description, results, and potential applicability to future AERIS
study.
