Quantifying air quality benefits resulting from few autonomous vehicles stabilizing traffic
Abstract
Autonomous vehicles are used to dampen trafic flow and reduce emissions. Experimental vehicle trajectories analyzed using MOVES to estimate emissions. At low penetration rates autonomous vehicles can reduce bulk traffic emissions.
