This paper proposes an adaptive signal control model which can simultaneously minimize the total traffic emissions and reduce the pollution concentration at road-side environmental sensitive areas (such as hospitals or schools). This paper employs traffic emission as the performance index, and analyzes the impact of pollution concentration at roadside. The proposed model comprises four key sub-models: Mixed Traffic Cell-Transmission model (MCTM), traffic emission model, emission dispersion model, and Genetic Fuzzy Logic Controller (GFLC). We compare the performance of the proposed model and the pre-timed signal control system. The results show that the GFLC model can effectively curtail the concentration values of pre-timed signal control system by 0.3% ~ 25.3%. In addition, to meet the limitation of emission concentration level, three control strategies for isolated intersections are then proposed and compared. The results show that as green time is longer or cycle length is shorter, the emission concentration of roadside sensitive area becomes less severe. For a series of consecutive intersections along an arterial (a case study on five intersections), three strategies for signal control are compared. The results show that the coordinated signal control for all intersections performs best. The applicability of the proposed model has been proven. |
