Integration of a Speed-dependent Emission Model in Dynamic Traffic Assignment: A Large Scale Application to the Paris Metropolitan Area

It is a common practice, when interfacing a traffic assignment model with an average-speed emission model, to use link mean speeds instead of trip mean speeds. Using synthetic traffic data produced by a microscopic model, the authors show that both approaches do not capture the effect of congestion on emissions. Instead, using the distributions of vehicle speeds — as opposed to a single average-speed value — can make an average-speed emission model behave consistently with a kinematic emission model. The main contribution of this paper is to show that simple, bimodal, speed distributions, can capture a significant part of the dynamic of congested traffic w.r.t. an average-speed emission model.
