Development of CO₂ Emissions Estimation Model for Evaluating ITS Applications

Abstract

As part of NEDO Energy ITS Project, we aim to establish reliable international evaluation methods to estimate CO₂ reduction using various ITS applications. To evaluate CO₂ reduction, we developed a mesoscopic CO₂ emission model. The concept of our emission model is the estimation of CO₂ emissions based on drive energy which is one of the most important factors to predict fuel consumption. We are considering the energy of acceleration by using statistical method. This model has good accuracy, which is verified by the comparison between measured and predicted fuel consumption.
