Simulating impacts of automated driving behavior and traffic conditions on vehicle emissions

Automated vehicles (AV) will have an impact on the movement of people and goods. Assessing the effects of AVs on land use, congestion and the environment is of utmost importance in order to inform policy and planning decisions. This study explores the effects of AVs and vehicle electrification on greenhouse gas emissions using traffic microsimulation and emission modeling. The driving behavior modeling parameters most relevant to AVs are tested...
