One-Way Traffic Configuration under Low-Carbon Conditions

Abstract

At present, a one-way traffic configuration has been used to relieve increasing traffic congestion in many cities, most of which just aims at minimizing the total system travel time. But, as the era of low-carbon is coming, there is the need to plan the traffic operation organization from the perspective of environmental protection. First, this paper briefly summarizes domestic and foreign research status of one-way traffic organization. Then, the characteristics of vehicle emissions are briefly introduced. From the perspective of environmental protection, this paper presents further research of one-way traffic organization. Based on a one-way traffic organization layout scheme with the objective of minimizing the total system travel time which is conducted through a bilevel programming model and hybrid GA-MSA solution algorithm, this paper selects a suitable vehicle emissions model to calculate total emissions and carries on, through comprehensive selection and correction, in order to improve the one-way traffic organization layout scheme. The improved scheme can relieve traffic congestion while giving attention to environmental protection requirements. In addition, an application example is given to demonstrate the feasibility of this method.
