A new paper based on MASc thesis research by Christos Stogios at the University of Toronto has been published in Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment, Vol. 76, Nov. 2019, pp. 176-192.

Simulating impacts of automated driving behavior and traffic conditions on vehicle emissions” was co-authored by Christos Stogios, Dena Kasraian, Matthew J. Roorda, and Marianne Hatzopoulou.

Highlights of the paper include:

  • Traffic microsimulation of automated vehicles (AV) on freeway and urban corridor.
  • Aggressively programmed AVs reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 26%.
  • Cautiously programmed AVs increase greenhouse gas emissions by up to 35%.
  • AV operations are most influential under congested freeway conditions.
  • Interrupted flow of urban corridor reduces the impact of AV driving operations.

Christos Stogios is currently an EIT in the ITS & Technology Planning group at WSP. He completed his BASc in Civil Engineering in 2016, and his MASc in 2018 under the supervision of  Professors Marianne Hatzopoulou and Matthew Roorda.
