Vehicle driving behavior is closely related to people's daily travel, and the resulting emissions have become an important source of air pollution. Previous studies have mostly discussed transport emission reduction control measures and expected effects from the perspectives of governments, policymakers, and automakers, but few studies have explored the long-term impact of driving behavior and its evolution on transport emissions from the driver's perspective. As the executor of driving ...
