In this paper, the authors describe their evaluation of the CO2 (carbon dioxide) reduction effects that can be achieved with a non-stop driving assistance service by using a high spatiotemporal resolution traffic simulator. The non-stop driving assistance service is a service that affects speed fluctuations rather than average speed. Therefore, to evaluate this service, the authors applied a high spatiotemporal resolution traffic simulator that reproduces speed fluctuations as precisely as a driving simulator and a CO2 emissions model that takes speed fluctuations into account. First, they investigated how reductions in CO2 emissions are related to traffic volume and the adoption rate under good conditions. The authors found that the service was rather effective when traffic volume was low, and that even if the service’s adoption rate was low, a certain reduction in CO2 emissions could be expected. Next, they evaluated the service under severe conditions and found that the CO2 reduction effects of the service greatly decreased. Therefore, they improved the service to solve problems that are likely to occur under severe conditions. The authors also applied their traffic simulator to verify the effects of the service improvements.
