Abstract: Traffic flow is an assemblage of vehicles, having local general purposes and facilities of its achievement that are correlated. As each vehicle is controlled individually, the flow represents an exceedingly ||alive organism||, which consumes fuel and throws insecure materials into the surrounding space. These processes that determinate energy of traffic, we will name energy-ecological parameters (EEP). This article, which is a continuation of ||Traffic flows modelling and evaluation of energy-ecological parameters. Part I.|| (IJVD, Vol. 33(4), pp. 381–399), presents estimation of EEP that takes into the account different modes of autotraffic flows. As an application, we present recommendations on control of flows| features for the EEP optimisation.

Keywords: density; determinate and stochastic component; fuel consumption; intensity; multiparameters characteristic engine; traffic flow; traffic speed.
