| Summary | Industrial development promotes economic activities and reinforces urbanization, and increases transportation demand as well. Due to high mobility, private cars are widely used. This phenomenon makes the problems of fuel consumptions and greenhouse gas emissions more serious than before. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the benefits of ITS for reducing fuel consumptions and greenhouse gas emissions. Through the domestic and foreign ITS experiences, this research is not only trying to figure out the general benefit and effect on air pollution reduction, but also finding the relationship between greenhouse gas emission and fuel consumption via systematic study and then establish an evaluation model that is suitable for the problem-solving in Taiwan. In this report, Chapter 1 illustrates the research origin, purposes, task items and procedures. In Chapter 2, the foreign and domestic ITS development experiences, concepts and definitions for saving energies and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions are introduced. In Chapter 3, the tactics issues and policies regarding the ITS beneficial results are defined. In Chapter 4, the quantitative ITS benefit evaluation models are constructed. In Chapter 5, link traffic volumes of the test-network scope are predicted. In Chapter 6, the module of network ITS benefit analyses is established. In Chapter 7, the module of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions is established. In Chapter 8, the performance of the ITS measures to the network and benefits analyses of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions is proceeded. Finally, the research conclusions, recommendations and the proposed task items for phase II of project are provided in Chapter 9 |
