Abstract In this study, the authors present a qualitative assessment of the potential effects of various ITS strategies on pollutant emission from motor vehicles. They first provide an overview of the major issues defining the possible relationships between IVHS, travel, and emissions. individual technologies are then grouped into bundles which address similar aspects of the transportation system. An analytical framework is then outlined with respect to geographic scale, timing and comparison baseline. The authors present a qualitative assessment of the potential effects of various ITS strategies on pollutant emission from motor vehicles and travel. For each of the technology bundles, the analysis first presents a detailed definition of the bundle. This is then followed by a discussion of the expected type and magnitude of the travel and emission impacts. The authors finally discuss the specific analytic tools necessary for quantifying the travel and emission impacts of IVHS. They focus on the theoretical and modeling advances, as well as the types of data, that the transportation demand, traffic simulation, and mobile source emission modeling communities require.
