§Adapted the MOVES model to
work with a microscopic traffic simulation model to calculate emissions for a realistic regional network
§Developed an automated procedure for integrating TRANSIMS and
MOVES
§Confirmed the conclusions of
previous research studies regarding differences between shortest travel time & least emissions assignments
§Demonstrated the potential of
green routing strategies to result in significant emissions reductions using a real-world large transportation
network
§Devised green routing
strategies that strike a balance between emissions reductions and the expected corresponding increase in travel
time
§ Assessed the impact of market penetration
rates of green routing users on the system-wide
emissions and travel time
§Demonstrated the potential
achieving significant emissions reductions at low market penetration rates if travelers with the largest likely
emissions savings are intelligently selected
for green routing
