Abstract
Roundabouts have been focused as safer, ecological and economical grade intersection type, and the practical development of roundabouts is currently discussed in Japan.<br>As it is possible to pass through without any stopping if there is no vehicle at a circulating roadway in roundabouts, the fuel consumption may be decreased in idling or accelerating. However, the total CO2 emission based on practical driving tests has not been reported.<br>In this study, the amount of CO2 emission is estimated from driving tests at a test roundabout and existing signal intersection. As a result, it is shown that the total CO2 emission from the roundabout is decreased compared to the signal intersection.
