Abstract：With the popularization of digital technology in China, the transportation industry has shifted from pursuing scale and speed to pursuing quality and efficiency. The low-carbon transformation of the transportation industry has also become a key area of concern for the general public. Information and communication technology, as the core technology for implementing smart transportation, plays an important role in the research and application of smart transportation. Low carbon transportation solutions have also been implemented on a large scale with the support of information and communication technology. The existing research on information technology and carbon reduction in smart transportation mostly focuses on the pathways analysis of information and communication technology enabling transportation, and there is no quantitative measurement research on carbon reduction in Chinese smart transportation field. This article conducts research and interviews on the solutions of two Chinese telecommunication operators in the field of smart transportation, quantitatively calculates their carbon reduction potential, and provides reference for telecommunication operators to empower the business layout of smart transportation.
