Urban fuel economy: an alternate interpretation of recent computer simulation calculations

Journal Article · · Transp. Res.; (United States)
Estimates of the effect of different traffic control scenarios on vehicular fuel consumption in an urban network were obtained in a recent report using detailed computer simulation. In the present work it is shown that these computer simulation results are consistent with a previously developed model of fuel consumption in urban traffic systems derived by conducting experiments in street traffic. 7 references.
