Abstract
Recently, Autonomous Vehicle(AV) has been expected to solve various transportation problems. s the problem of environmental pollution become serious, research to reduce pollution is needed. However, empirical research on AV related pollution is insufficient. Based on this background, this study analyzed network performance changes and CO2 emissions introduc AVs and Electric Vehicles(EV) in eight intersections. The results show that when AVs with internal combustion engines were, the effect of carbon reduction over the network was insignificant. On the other hand, it was that the total amount of CO2 generated in the network decreased significantly when EVs and autonomous electric vehicles were emissions in the transportation sector.
