Fig. 3: The impact of SAVs on PM2.5 emission.
From: Energy and environmental impacts of shared autonomous vehicles under different pricing strategies
The spatial distribution of relative PM2.5 emission between different SAV pricing scenarios and Scenario S0 across the study area. SAV pricing scenarios incorporate Scenario S1 (a), Scenario S2 (b), Scenario S3 (c), Scenario S4 (d), and Scenario S5 (e). Orange indicates increased PM2.5 emission in SAV pricing scenarios, and green indicates reduced PM2.5 emission in SAV pricing scenarios. Supplementary Figs. 2–6 presents the impact of SAVs on the emissions of CO2 and other air pollutants. Jiangyin City, Jiangsu Province, China, is the background. This city, as a county-level city in Wuxi City, is one of six pilot smart cities under construction and was selected in this study to evaluate the impacts of SAVs.
