Conclusions
Page 18
§For
the Buffalo-Niagara metropolitan area, green routing has the potential to result in significant emissions
reductions, with reductions in CO emissions in the range of between 26% to 32%
§The
corresponding increase in travel time for the case study was in the range of 11% to 35% (e.g. Strategy #4
reduced emissions by 27% at the expense of an 11% increase in travel time)
§It
is possible to devise strategies that strike a balance between reduced emissions and increased travel
times
§With
targeted market peneration, significant emissions reductions can be achieved at relatively low market
penetration values. Moreover, in that
case, the increase
in travel time is quite reasonable (e.g. a 40% targeted green routing market penetration yielded 25%
reduction in CO emissions at the expense of an 8% increase in travel time).
