Assessing the Impact of Intelligent Transportation Systems on Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Emissions: A Case Study of the Karaj-Chalous Corridor in Iran

The current research is an applied research in terms of classification based on the purpose. The purpose of applied research is to develop applied knowledge in a specific field.

Also, the current research is a descriptive-correlation research in terms of method and nature. The statistical population of this research is the cars that traveled during eight busy days of September, from 1 am to 24 pm, in Karaj Chalus axis in 2018 during the study period, and no other specific sampling was done. All calculations and analyzes were done using Excel and 10Eviews software.

The results showed that the use of the intelligent transportation system leads to a reduction in travel time on the Karaj-Chalos corridor and consequently reduced gas emissions. carbon dioxide (CO2).

The findings showed that the use of the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) in the 8 days of the study has led to a reduction of 2521 tons of carbon dioxide emissions in the Karaj-Chalos axis.
