Optimized Design of Low Emission Zones in SUMO : A Dual Focus on Emissions Reduction and Travel Time Improvement

Abstract: Focusing on the critical challenge of air pollution in urban areas, primarily caused by vehicular emissions, this study proposes an innovative process for Low Emission Zones (LEZ) design within the Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) framework. Our primary focus is on enhancing urban mobility through the strategic design of LEZs, while simultaneously maintaining or even improving emission levels. The novel aspect of the approach lies in the use of LEZs with minimal geometric boundaries, strategically designed to balance the reduction of CO2 emissions and the necessity of fluid urban transportation. LEZs are calculated using genetic algorithms that optimize a cost function balancing emissions and travel time while applying topological and specific constraints. Several experiments are simulated with SUMO to compare the efficiency of urban mobility under various LEZ configurations and different traffic demands. The results show the improvement of the approach in comparison with tradit.... https://www.tib-op.org/ojs/index.php/scp/article/view/1143
