In this paper, the vehicle fuel consumption and emission rates of environment-adaptive driving with or without inter-vehicle communications are estimated using an autonomous running traffic flow simulator. In this study, a microscopic fuel consumption and emission model is used. Simulation results show that environment-adaptive driving can reduce both of the average fuel consumption and vehicle emission. It also shows that inter-vehicle communications can improve these impacts under high vehicle densities and long traffic light cycle times.
