In recent years, connected vehicles have been appearing on the market and will gradually transit to a fully connected vehicles environment. This paper proposed an eco-driving system to reduce fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions (CO2 emissions) of vehicles when they move through successive signalized intersections under a partially connected vehicles environment. To verify the efficiency of the eco-driving system, a simulation system is developed using the multi-agent technology. The fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and travel time under the eco-driving system are compared with the traditional driving system at different market penetration rates and different traffic flow densities. Simulation results show that the proposed eco-driving system has the best control effect on the medium traffic flow density when the market penetration rate is 100%. Under this condition, the proposed eco-driving system can reduce approximately 40% fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, with the travel time only increasing by about 2%.
