Analysis of Specific Power Distribution of Vehicle Stop-and-Go Behaviors at Signalized Intersections

Vehicle specific power (VSP) is conventionally defined as representing instantaneous vehicle engine power. It has been widely utilized to reveal the impact of vehicle operating conditions on estimations of emissions and energy consumption that are dependent upon speed and acceleration or deceleration based on second-by-second vehicle operation. The analysis of acceleration and deceleration stop-and-go behaviors at intersections is needed for queue simulation and emissions estimation. High-resolution data obtained by driving simulator sensors can provide useful insights into driving behavior at intersections. Hence, aggressive driving behaviors that account for a significant share of vehicle emissions can be identified by data-driven analysis of VSP distribution. Based on the analysis results, an aggregated VSP distribution represents the profile of driving behaviors at signalized intersections.
