Selected aspects of the model of proecological transport system

Abstract

The paper presents selected aspects of a design of a proecological transport system. The necessity of designing proecological transport systems results from forecasts of transport demand and adaptation of the infrastructure to the standards and requirements of the EU. The European Commission pays special attention to the need for sustainable and environmentally friendly transport. Warsaw University of Technology in collaboration with Poznan University of Technology performs a research work concerning the development of an environmentally friendly transport system Project EMITRANSYS. One of its stages is a development of a mathematical model taking into account the minimization of both the negative impact of transport on the environment and the transportation costs. The paper proposes a general formulation of the mathematical model of a proecological transport system (MEST) including the boundary conditions. A function of criterion minimizes the emission of harmful exhaust components resulting from traffic distribution in a network. The point elements of the infrastructure in a model represent places where the infrastructure parameters change, i.e. crossroads, narrowed roads or reduced speed areas. In addition, the structure of the vehicle fleet embraces the characteristics of the emission levels of different types of exhaust components.
