Guiding Model and Empirical Analysis of Vehicle Behavior at Signalized Intersections Based on Carbon Emissions

A model based on carbon emissions is established to guide vehicle behavior at signalized intersections. This model takes working conditions and emission characteristics of vehicles into account, uses VT-Micro model exploited by Oak Ridge National Laboratory to calculate emissions, and provides vehicles with the lowest-emission working plan to drive through intersections. This model is able to reducing carbon emissions at the source and it agrees with the development of low-carbon transportation.
