This chapter explores the extent to which the adoption of highly automated vehicles (AVs)
will lead to carbon dioxide (CO 2) emission reduction in the future. Additionally, policy …

Transport energy use and carbon emissions continue to rise, but both need to be drastically
reduced. Conventional proposed solutions, all already used to some extent, include a shift to …

In much the same way that the automobile disrupted horse and cart transportation in the
20th century, automated vehicles (AVs) hold the potential to disrupt our current system of …

Autonomous vehicles (AVs)—vehicles that operate without real-time human input—are a
potentially disruptive technology. If widely adopted, there is the potential for significant …

Switching energy demand for transport from liquid fuels to electricity is the most promising
way to significantly improve air quality and reduce transport emissions. Previous studies …

Experts predict that new automobiles will be capable of driving themselves under limited
conditions within 5–10 years, and under most conditions within 10–20 years. Automation …

Global greenhouse gas (GHG) emission targets can only be met by significantly
decarbonising road transport. The only long term way to do this is via the electrification of …

This study attempts to quantify the change in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions resulting from
autonomous vehicle (AV) introduction in a congested urban network. An integrated traffic …

Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) are rapidly developing, and their emergence on
the automotive landscape is likely transformative in nature. CAVs could provide better …

Vehicle automation is coming, but environmental and energy imperatives are NOT what's
motivating it. In fact, its energy and environmental outcomes are deeply uncertain. The …
