Modelling traffic flow emissions at signalized intersection with PTV vissim

Abstract

The effect of roadway intersection design is strictly linked to a reduction in traffic congestion, fuel consumption and emissions in an urban area. This paper presents a comparative result of the typical four-legged intersection and roundabout operational performance for effective management. Accordingly, a computer model for estimation traffic emissions for two kinds of intersections is created. This study presents a detailed analysis and modelling traffic flow emissions using PTV vissim software and methodology with reasonable solutions to plan a road intersection.
