“…Among them, higher-order models are the most precise under certain traffic conditions, such as jam waves [34], and they estimate the average traffic speed more precisely. However, they are more complex, and first-order models are generally sufficient in urban environments as nonlinear flow dynamics are of less importance because of intersections and TLS [35]. As a result, first-order models have been widely used for traffic control applications in urban areas [3].…”

This work focuses on evaluating the potential of variable speed limits (VSLs) in a synthetic urban network to improve both environmental sustainability and traffic performance. The traffic system is modeled using the microscopic traffic simulator SUMO, and a physical fuel consumption and NOx emission model is used to assess the vehicles' energy efficiency. Speed limits are controlled through a nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) approach, in which the traffic evolution and fuel consumption are respectively predicted with a macroscopic traffic model, namely the cell transmission model (CTM), and a pre-calibrated artificial neural network (ANN). The results reveal that in transient phases between different levels of congestion, the proposed eco-VSL controller is faster to decongest the network, resulting in an improvement of the environmental sustainability and the traffic performance both in the controlled network, and at its boundary roads.

“…Transportation and traffic science classifies traffic models into macroscopic, mesoscopic, and microscopic models, according to the granularity with which traffic flows are examined. Macroscopic models, like METACOR 28, model traffic at a large scale, treating traffic like a liquid applying hydrodynamic flow theory to vehicle behavior. The simulation in a macroscopic model takes place on a section‐by‐section basis rather than by tracking individual vehicles.…”

Wireless communication technologies have now greatly impact our daily lives. From indoor wireless LANs to outdoor cellular mobile networks, wireless technologies have benefited billions of users around the globe. The era of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) is now evolving, gaining attention and momentum. Researchers and developers have built VANET simulation software to allow the study and evaluation of various media access, routing, and emergency warning protocols. VANET simulation is fundamentally different from MANETs (mobile ad hoc networks) simulation because in VANETs, vehicular environment imposes new issues and requirements, such as constrained road topology, multi-path fading and roadside obstacles, traffic flow models, trip models, varying vehicular speed and mobility, traffic lights, traffic congestion, drivers' behavior, etc. Currently, there are VANET mobility generators, network simulators, and VANET simulators. This paper presents a comprehensive study and comparisons of the various publicly available VANET simulation software and their components. In particular, we contrast their software characteristics, graphical user interface (GUI), popularity, ease of use, input requirements, output visualization capability, accuracy of simulation, etc. Finally, while each of the studied simulators provides a good simulation environment for VANETs, refinements and further contributions are needed before they can be widely used by the research community.
