Second Generation of Pollutant Emission Models for SUMO

Traffic puts a high burden on the environment in means of emitted pollutants and consumed fuel. Different attempts exist for reducing these impacts, ranging from traffic management actions to in-vehicle ITS solutions. When equipped with a model of vehicular pollutant emissions, microscopic traffic simulations are assumed to be helpful in predicting the performance of such approaches. SUMO includes a model for vehicular emissions since 2008. In the context of the projects COLOMBO and AMITRAN, two further models were implemented. Herein, these models are presented and discussed, pointing out the progress in emissions modelling.
