Etc Assisted Traffic Light Control Scheme for Reducing Vehicles’ Co2 Emissions
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a vehicle’s CO2 emission reduction scheme by an ETC-assisted real-time traffic light control scheme in vehicular networks. Using Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) devices, real-time road conditions can be obtained by wireless communication between the ETC devices and the traffic lights. A decision tree classification algorithm is used to assign the changing policy for the traffic lights, and then the optimal average waiting time can be calculated. Less waiting time will result in less fuel consumption and fewer CO2 emissions. Compared with the most widely used fixed time control, the ETC-assisted realtime traffic light control scheme has much better performances in reducing the average waiting time, improving non-stop passing rate, and reducing CO2 emission.

Dynamic Traffic Light Control Scheme for Reducing Co2 Emissions Employing Etc Technology
With the increasing growth of vehicle numbers in the world, Global warming is becoming a serious issue. Vehicle CO2 emissions are considered to be one of the main sources of global warming. In order to reduce vehicles CO2 emissions, a dynamic traffic light control scheme is proposed. In the proposed scheme, we are the first to use Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) devices to obtain real time tra...
متن کاملModel Based Traffic Light Control For Reducing CO2 Emissions In Vehicles
Generally, vehicles’ stop-and-go driving will consume more fuel and emit more co2 than constant speed of vehicles .To reduce vehicles’ CO2 emissions vehicles’ travel should be smoothed by reducing the stop-and-go times. In this paper, three techniques are proposed to realize dynamic traffic light control for smoothing vehicles’ travel. In technique-1, an intelligent transportation system (ITS) ...

متن کاملReducing Vehicle Emissions via Machine Learning for Traffic Signal Program Selection (Extended Abstract)
Real-time optimization of traffic flow addresses important practical problems: reducing a driver’s wasted time, improving city-wide efficiency, reducing gas emissions, and improving air quality. Many current implementations and research studies that address traffic signal control construct a light controller’s program (whether adaptive or static) by segmenting the day into divisions in which di...
