URBAN FUEL ECONOMY: AN ALTERNATE INTERPRETATION OF RECENT COMPUTER SIMULATION CALCULATIONS.

ESTIMATES OF THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT TRAFFIC CONTROL SCENARIOS ON VEHICULAR FUEL CONSUMPTION IN AN URBAN NETWORK WERE OBTAINED IN A RECENT REPORT USING DETAILED COMPUTER SIMULATION. IN THE PRESENT WORK IT IS SHOWN THAT THESE COMPUTER SIMULATION RESULTS ARE CONSISTENT WITH A PREVIOUSLY DEVELOPED MODEL OF FUEL CONSUMPTION IN URBAN TRAFFIC SYSTEMS DERIVED BY CONDUCTING EXPERIMENTS IN STREET TRAFFIC.(Author/publisher).
