Investigating Emissions of Traffic By Simulation
The applicability of a microscopic traffic simulator for the calculation of environmental impacts is discussed. This simulator is based on a queuing model approach (Q-model). Arguments will be given in terms of comparison to a simulator that models single vehicular dynamics. Simulation results show the importance of modelling dynamic effects to achieve high accuracy. Finally, an example for the application of the Q-model in air-quality management is presented
