Air pollution caused by vehicle use has been a longtime concern. In recent years, with the concept of low-carbon economy and low-carbon city arising both at home and abroad, environmental problems in the transportation field have attracted attention all over the world. Based on this background and study of carbon emissions in transportation field, this paper selects residents' trip survey data from the cities of Huizhou, Dongguan, and Rizhao, calculates carbon emissions of residents' daily travel by using distance-based calculation method, and then comes to the conclusion that the main influencing factors for carbon emissions of urban passenger transport are carbon emission factors, residents' average trip rate, sharing proportion of different transportation modes, and average trip distance. In the end, it puts forward some measures and advice for energy conservation and emission reduction.
