Abstract

Policies to reduce carbon emissions in the transport sector are crucial in influencing the public's choice of environmentally friendly travel modes. This paper uses road travel data in Beijing and employs agent-based modelling to analyze and predict the effects of different carbon emission reduction policies on commuters’ mode choice in Beijing. The results show that in the short term, strengthening the implementation of vehicle restriction policies and imposing congestion pricing policies have acceptable carbon emission reduction effects. However, in the long term, policy to reduce fuel and electricity consumption has significant potential to reduce total carbon emissions.
