Title: A Disaggregate Model System for Assessing the Energy Impact of Transportation at the Regional Level
Accession Number: 01596084
Record Type: Component
Abstract: This paper demonstrates how a powertrain simulation software that is usually applied to study a given vehicle technology on a predefined drive cycle can be used to study realistic complex transportation systems, through application to a case study involving Variable Message Signs (VMS) in the Chicago central business district as part of an Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS). The authors demonstrate that an energy impact associated with ATIS can be estimated though simulation and that energy should be one of the metrics that is applied to studying ITS technologies by looking at each individual vehicle in a context of a complex system. It is possible to study impacts of ITS technologies on transportation systems not only by using aggregate measures such as vehicle miles traveled but by doing more precise microscopic simulation, which is sensitive to many parameters that cannot be represented in a framework that relies on VMT.
