A dynamic mesoscopic emission model for signalized intersections

The paper develops a mesoscopic emission model for signalized intersections that takes into account the dynamic variability of traffic conditions. It starts from an analytical model based on Akcelic theory and it permits to distinguish between vehicles in queue and vehicles entering/exiting the queue (deceleration and acceleration phases) using data derived from a Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA).
