Taking advantage of vehicles′ spatial and temporal trajectories and corresponding signal tim⁃
ing parameters, speed guidance strategy could be provided to drivers for going through the intersection
smartly. In order to explore the strategy influence on emissions and energy consumptions, the aggregated
system combining traffic simulation software VISSIM and emission model MOVES, was developed to
evaluate the traffic emissions under different flows and guidance control. As a case study, the intersec⁃
tion at Lianhe Road crossing Changjiang Road in Dalian was selected for evaluation. Four driving behav⁃
iors under green wave speed guidance strategy were compared. It is found that acceleration behaviors
cause much more emissions and energy consumptions. In order to avoid this situation, a low emission ori⁃
ented speed guidance strategy was proposed through introducing fuzzy speed control into the accelera⁃
tion speed guidance. Results show that compared with green wave one, traffic emissions and energy con⁃
sumptions decrease by 3%~5% with the proposed speed guidance strategy in the middle traffic vol⁃
ume. It is proved that the low emission oriented speed guidance strategy plays a positive role on reducing
emissions.
