Abstract

This paper describes a model which is used to optimise the traffic operating conditions to obtain the desirable situation of traffic operations performance in term of total passenger productive capacity and analyse traffic-related environmental impacts. The results of the model application for three scenarios are discussed in aspects of level of service, maximum vehicle service capacity, environmental impacts and total productive capacity. The results revealed that the mathematical model is a useful tool in traffic operations performance evaluation and traffic-generated environmental pollution analysis. 1 Introduction Traffic-generated environmental pollution requires serious attention in the metropolitan
