“…Having a shorter activation distance means that we can reduce the transmission power of the RSU and thus having better resource allocation and less collisions in the communications. Compared with the work in [12], where the minimum activation distance is found near 500m, our work shows better characteristics in this aspect.…”

This paper proposes a Green Light Optimized Speed Advisory (GLOSA) application implementation in a typical reference area, and presents the results of its performance analysis using an integrated cooperative ITS simulation platform. Our interest was to monitor the impacts of GLOSA on fuel and traffic efficiency by introducing metrics for average fuel consumption and average stop time behind a traffic light, respectively. For gathering the results we implemented a traffic scenario defining a single route through an urban area including two traffic lights. The simulations are varied for different penetration rates of GLOSA-equipped vehicles and traffic density. Our results indicate that GLOSA systems could improve fuel consumption and reduce traffic congestion in junctions.

Abstract-Environmental problems, such as pollutions, become more intensive every year. One of the major causes is a higher fuel consumption and CO 2 emission. In year 2009, 23 percent of CO 2 emission globally comes from land transportation systems, which is equal to 7,000 million tons of CO 2 . This large amount of pollution gas must be reduced to slow down global environmental problems. Reduction of fuel consumption and CO 2 emission in land transportation systems, which will have immediate positive economical and environmental impacts, has become an important part of green technology to alleviate global warming due to human activities. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), which aims at applications of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the transportation systems, has offered unique opportunities for the green ITS. This article aims to provide a survey of the latest published applications as well as the envisaged technical challenges in this research area.Index Terms-Green technology, traffic light-to-vehicle communication, TLVC, fuel consumption, CO 2 emission, intelligent transportation system, Green ITS, vehicular communications I. INTRODUCTION VIRONMENTAL problems become a serious concern for the mankind. Huge amount of pollution is released every year due to the growth of world economics, resulting in the global warming problem. There are several attempts to alleviate the global warming, such as uses of alternative natural energy; solar, wind, and water energy. However, the investment of natural energy production is very high and gives low return rate for industries. As a result, this approach is not yet achieved.According to statistics, more than 30,000 million tons of CO 2 is emitted each year [1].

“…Apart from road safety problems, traffic congestion control is an important research issue involving VANETs. Motivated by the ideas of reducing deployment costs and dynamically regulating vehicular traffic flow at intersections, inter-vehicle communications-based virtual traffic lights (VTLs) are envisioned to replace traditional infrastructure-based traffic lights (Chou et al, 2013;Tonguz, 2011;Ferreira et al, 2010;Tielert et al, 2010).…”

Green intelligent transportation systems (GITS) have received significant attention in recent years. Traffic congestion, which is an important research topic on intelligent transportation systems (ITS), is rapidly becoming one of the most serious problems affecting urban areas. This study utilises the vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) technology to build a virtual traffic light (VTL) environment to reduce traffic congestion. The objective of this study is to adjust the traffic light signal time length on-demand to enable vehicles to pass through numerous intersections rapidly, thereby saving energy and reducing fuel consumption. The traffic phase combination algorithm and VTL operation mechanism are also addressed to improve the traffic congestion situation in urban areas. Simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme can increase the percentage of traffic flow and the average speed of all vehicles in all intersections, thereby saving energy.
