A comparison of CO₂ emissions from automobile traffic section regarding calculation methods

Abstract

There are many researches on the CO₂ emissions calculation in the car transport section. However, their results are not consistent. There are two calculation methods. First method is to calculate by using the fossil fuel consumption data. Second method is to calculate by using the car mileage data. The first method is accurate more than the second one.Nevertheless, only the second method is used when evaluating the relationship between each social problem and CO₂ emissions from car transport. Therefore, in this paper, it is calculated with the second method, and its accuracy is evaluated by comparine with the first method.
