Abstract
The low carbon traffic as well as urban activities are recommended in the district based smart cities proposed recently. The traffic management involving CEV (Clean Energy Vehicles) such as electric vehicles (EV) is discussed in the study. The road traffic management with increase of EV in the target area as the former foreign settlement of Kobe. The impact of increase of EV to the road traffic flow can be estimated with referring to the acceleration performance of EV. The road traffic simulation with estimation of carbon dioxide emission is introduced. The network traffic flow in the district can be estimated through the increase of EV. It is known from the results that the efficient traffic can be realized from the increase of EV on the networks. Furthermore, the EV dominant zone is assumed in the district for future traffic management. The proposed management can be evaluated effectively in the district in terms of environmental load as well as traffic flow on the networks.
