Abstract:

This report contains four sub-reports on research tasks that were completed related to the enhancement of traffic control to reduce emissions and fuel consumption. The first task looks at the type of control to implement at an intersection, based on minimizing emissions. Assuming that an intersection is signalized, the second tasks look at the optimal cycle length that should be selected to minimize emissions and fuel consumption. Once a signalized intersection has been deployed, the third and fourth tasks look at new ways to evaluate traffic signal performance related to emergency vehicle preemption using high resolution data and optimizing timing plans based on emissions.
