“…One benefit of simulations is that link-level vehicular flows can be extracted to calculate emissions, providing the details needed to accurately estimate emissions (e.g., speed, acceleration, and congestion). Also, they can be used to anticipate future scenarios with innovative technology adoption such as eco-routing systems (14,15), dynamic ecodriving technology (5), and intelligent transportation systems (16) based on optimal emissions pricing (17). However, numerous assumptions must be made regarding future travel behavior, VMT, vehicles, fuel use, regional distribution of vehicle age, and the market penetration of information technology.…”
