カリフォルニアの商用ロボタクシー29か月分の報告データを用い、旅客マイル当たりの運行CO2eを空車走行と乗車段階の乗車率に分解して分析した。2024〜2025年に空車率は50.73%から45.06%へ低下したが乗車率も1.455から1.316へ低下し、両者がほぼ相殺してVMT/PMTは0.83%しか減らなかった。2025年の炭素強度は118.3g CO2e/PMTと推計され、旅客マイルは269.9%増加した。空車走行だけでは効率を判断できず、サービス規模と併せて排出強度を報告すべきと示す。
English
Using 29 months of California commercial robotaxi data, this study decomposes operational CO2e per passenger-mile into deadheading and passenger-stage occupancy. Deadheading fell from 50.73% to 45.06% in 2024-2025, but occupancy also dropped from 1.455 to 1.316, nearly offsetting gains so VMT/PMT fell only 0.83%. Modeled 2025 carbon intensity was 118.3 g CO2e/PMT while passenger-miles rose 269.9%. It argues emissions intensity must be reported alongside service scale, as empty mileage alone misjudges efficiency.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では自動運転タクシーの社会実装が政策課題であり、運行段階の炭素会計手法は国内実証の排出評価や運輸部門の脱炭素政策に応用可能。SSBJのScope3算定とも接続しうる。
In the global GX context
Adds empirical operational-carbon accounting for autonomous EV fleets, relevant to global transport decarbonization and to disclosure frameworks (GHG Protocol, ISSB) that increasingly demand service-level emissions intensity alongside scale.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:運行段階の炭素強度を空車率と乗車率に厳密分解する会計手法を、新興モビリティの実データで検証した点が参考になる。
🏢実務担当者:ロボタクシー・配車事業者は空車率だけでなく乗車率と系統炭素を併記し、サービス拡大時の排出強度を開示すべき。
🏛政策担当者:自動運転サービスの許認可・報告制度に、排出強度とサービス規模の併記を組み込む根拠を提供する。
📄 Abstract（原文）
Electric robotaxis have no tailpipe emissions, but the carbon associated with operating the service depends on empty travel, passenger load, vehicle electricity use, and the electricity supply. This study uses 29 months of California commercial robotaxi reporting from August 2023 to December 2025 to examine those factors on a passenger-mile basis. Vehicle-Miles Traveled per Passenger-Mile Traveled (VMT/PMT) is decomposed exactly into deadheading and passenger-stage occupancy and then linked to electricity use and location-based operational carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions. Between 2024 and 2025, deadheading fell from 50.73% to 45.06%, while distance-weighted passenger-stage occupancy fell from 1.455 to 1.316. The two changes nearly offset each other, and VMT/PMT declined by only 0.83%. Under a constant-grid scenario using the 2023 California regional grid factor and 0.42 kWh/mile, modeled 2025 carbon intensity was 118.3 g CO2e/PMT. Passenger-miles rose by 269.9% over the same period, and modeled emissions associated with reported passenger-service mileage rose by 266.8%. These are service-attributed accounting estimates rather than a net transportation-emissions effect. The case shows why empty mileage alone is not enough to judge operating efficiency and why emissions intensity should be reported alongside service scale when electric robotaxi services are expanding. The same accounting can help operators and regulators track whether utilization gains keep pace with service growth.
