Capacity and emission evaluation of new interchange designs using microsimulation

Original language description

The insufficient interchange capacity in urban areas has also negative impact on environment in terms of emission production. In well-developed cities we are limited in the interchange renovation and that force us to look for the new design solutions. It is important to look for the new designs that will help not only from the side of interchange efficiency considering difficult urban conditions but also lower the emission production. Nowadays, the microsimulation is the most widely used tool for the detailed interchange performance and it allows us to evaluate and compare its alternative designs from various points of view. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the capacity efficiency and emission performance of interchange current state and its two unconventional interchange alternative designs (UAIDs) The case study is in Brno, Czech Republic at tight diamond interchange (TDI) located close to the city center. The microsimulation of current state is created and calibrated according to the complex traffic survey. To ensure the optimal design in terms of capacity and emission production, two alternatives were compared with each other and the current state. The PTV Vissim software was used to create and evaluate three microsimulation models (current state and two alternatives) and the results were applied to calculate emissions production of selected NOx, NO2, CO, Benzene, PM10 and PM2,5 elements using MEFA 13 software recommended by the Ministry of Environment in Czech Republic. The results show that in terms of capacity, the MUDI alternative provide higher delays reduction on main approaches by 99 s for SA and 81s for NA but at the expense of a slight deterioration of the minor approaches (SA,WA). In terms of emissions reduction the DDI alternative has proved better solution in average reduction about 30% comparing to the current state.
