Abstract

This study aimed to estimate the environmental effects of reducing CO2 emissions by using ITS in Iran (Case study of Karaj-Chalous axis). The present research is applied in terms of purpose-based classification. The idea of applied research is to develop applied knowledge in a particular field. Furthermore, this research is descriptive-correlational in terms of method and nature. The statistical population of this study is the vehicles traveling during the eight busy days of September from 1 am to 00:00 in the Karaj-Chalous axis in 1398 during the study time. No other specific sampling was performed. All calculations and analyzes were performed using Excel and 10Eviews software. The results revealed that the application of the intelligent transportation system had decreased travel time on the Karaj-Chalous axis and, therefore, reduced the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The outcomes indicated that the use of the intelligent transportation system (ITS) during the eight days of the research had decreased 10129069 kg of carbon dioxide emissions in the Karaj-Chalous axis.
