Reducing air pollution, such as CO2 and PM2.5 emissions, is one of the most important issues for many countries worldwide. Selecting an environmentally friendly transport mode can be an effective approach of individuals to reduce air pollution in daily life. In this study, we propose a method to simulate the effectiveness of an eco-friendly transport mode selection for reducing air pollution by using map search logs. We formulate the transport mode selection as a combinatorial optimization problem with the constraints regarding the total amount of CO2 emissions as an example of air pollution and the average travel time. The optimization results show that the total amount of CO2 emissions can be reduced by 9.23 be reduced by 9.96 Learning Competition Track Task 2 at KDD Cup 2019.
