Using Model Predictive Control To Reduce Traffic Emissions on Urban Freeways
Urban traffic congestion significantly impacts regional air quality and contributes substantially to pollutant emissions. Suburban freeway corridors are a major source of traffic-related emissions, particularly nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon dioxide (CO2). This paper proposes a Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework aimed at emission reduction on peripheral freeway corridors. Emission rates on freeways exhibit high sensitivity to speed fluctuations and congestion recovery processes. To addr…
