• Abstract:
  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. 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.
