This paper describes a recent study, which was conducted to assess the aggregated impact of the electronic toll collection system (locally called M-Tag) deployment at the three major toll plazas in the Baltimore Metropolitan Area. The study focused on the reduction in mobile emissions, including hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxide, for peak hour periods. The analysis involved two major stages: (1) development of simulation and deterministic models used to generate traffic flow parameters, including speed and driving cycles for the study areas; and (2) employment of the traffic flow parameters from stage 1 to quantify the hourly emissions.
