Modelling how changes in the driving cycle affect fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emission rates: the first stage. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kirby, H. (2006, November). Modelling how changes in the driving cycle affect fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emission rates: the first stage

This paper describes a simplified procedure for estimating the fuel consumed and carbon dioxide emitted as a result of traffic demand management measures or other policy instruments. The usual methods may be based on second-by-second traffic simulati...
