Abstract:

Mixed traffic flow will consist of cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) vehicles and manual driven (MD) vehicles under connected and automated environment. Then this paper focuses on CO2 emission of such mixed flow. Firstly, the mixed traffic flow in this paper was defined according to characteristics of connected and automated environment. Car-following behaviors of each type of vehicles in such mixed flow were described by car-following models calibrated via experimental data. Then numerical simulations were performed considering periodic boundary condition. Based on trajectory data in simulations, CO2 emission model was used to calculate impacts of CO2 emission for the mixed traffic. Finally, effect mechanism of CO2 emission was explored from the perspective of mixed flow stability. An improving method for reducing CO2 emission was also proposed. Results show that CO2 emission of such mixed flow would increase and then decrease, with the increase of CACC penetration rate p, which has qualitative relation with traffic flow stability. By using the proposed improving method based on variable headway strategy, CO2 emission of such mixed flow would decrease with the increase of p. Compared with MD vehicular flow (p=0), CACC vehicular flow (p=1) could reduce CO2 emission by 19.35%. Results obtained in this paper can provide reference for management strategy of such mixed traffic flow, from the perspective of reducing CO2 emission.

Key words: transportation planning and management, mixed traffic flow, CO2 emissions, car-following model, cooperative adaptive cruise control
