Evaluation of Eco-Driving Effect Involved by Traffic Volume and Signal Control

Abstract

 For widely spreading of eco-driving to the general driver as global warming measure of the transport sector, the effective eco-driving way and the quantitative effect according to traffic volume and signal control was evaluated using traffic flow simulation. As a result, the eco-driving way of holding down desired speed is an effective way for the whole traffic flow. In the city where the signal density is high and the traffic volume is near the saturation, the eco-driving effect decrease. Slowly acceleration has the opposite effect when the traffic volume is high.
