Cover Story: This article evaluates whether smart traffic lights can have a relevant role in reducing CO2 emissions in small cities, considering their specific traffic profiles. A novel microscopic traffic simulation framework is presented, designed to simulate realistic vehicle kinematics and driver behaviour, and accurately estimate CO2 emissions. The simulations reveal that deploying smart traffic lights at a single intersection can reduce CO2 emissions from 32% to 40% in the vicinity of the intersection, depending on the traffic density. The simulations show other advantages for drivers: an increase in average speed from 60% to 101% and a reduction in waiting time from 53% to 95%.
