| Summary | The ITS Spot services have been operating in Japan and several programs to improve traffic situation were enforced. CO2 emission reduction is one of the major aims of the programs. However applying the current formulas to estimate CO2 emission by ITS Spot services might not be appropriate. The contributions of ITS Spot services in terms of CO2emission reduction are not drastic. On the other hand, detailed driving data collection has been possible by using OBD (on board diagnostics) connectors. The data obtained by OBD connectors would be useful to estimate CO2 emission accurately. In this paper, comparison of the estimation results by the current formulas with the actual data obtained by OBD connectors will be informed. Then, correction factors will be proposed to adjust the estimation formula to apply ITS Spot services evaluation. In addition, The estimation software was invented to estimate the contributions of ITS Spot services. |
