Abstract

Researchers at Georgia Tech, UC Davis, San Jose University, and the California Polytechnic University in San Luis Obispo developed a method to forecast modes of vehicles activity. A general framework used to link forecasted vehicle activity with forecasted emissions of CO, NOX and HCC from light-duty motor vehicles is presented. Algorithms are then developed to estimate modal activity on freeways using a statistical modeling procedure called hierarchical tree-based regression (HTBR). To generate traffic data for the statistical analysis, a full factorial data set containing 1600 observations is developed using a modification of the FRESIM simulation modeling software.
