Traffic emission is one of the main pollution sources of urban atmospheric environment. Traffic control scheme of intersection has important influence on vehicle emission. Research on low emission traffic signal control scheme has become one of focuses of Intelligent Transportation. Current typical control methods of traffic emission are based on optimizing the average delay and number of stops. However, it is extremely difficult to use mathematical formula to calculate the delay and the number of stops in the presence of initial queue length of intersection. In order to solve this problem, we proposed a traffic emission control algorithm based on reinforcement learning. The simulation experiments were carried out by using the microscopic traffic simulation software. Compared with the Hideki emission control scheme, the experimental results show that the reinforcement learning algorithm is more effective. The average vehicle emissions are reduced by 12.2% for high saturation of the intersection.
