本文采用实验测量来解释信号控制设置和排放量和交通变量之间的相互作用。用于验证的数据是在连接葡萄牙里斯本和卡斯凯的N6高速公路上收集的。排放量是根据模式方法计算的。执法水平对增加的排放量之间的权衡进行了探讨。该研究的主要结论之一是，信号控制方案，导致停止更大比例的速度违规者也产生更高的排放。另一方面，如果速度控制交通信号通过诱导减速来改变驾驶员的行为，则它们也会导致相对污染物排放的减少。(c)2005爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
The paper uses experimental measurements to explain the interaction between the signal control settings and emissions and traffic variables. The data for validation were gathered on Highway N6, connecting the cities of Lisbon and Cascais, in Portugal. Emissions are computed based on a modal approach. Trade-offs between level of enforcement against added emissions are explored. One of the main conclusions of the research is that signal control schemes that result in stopping a larger fraction of speed violators also yield higher emissions. On the other hand, if the speed control traffic signals modify drivers' behaviour by inducing speed reduction, they will also result in a decrease in relative pollutant emissions.
