Abstract

To meet the twin carbon goals of “carbon peak” and “carbon neutrality”, it is crucial to make scientific predictions about carbon emissions in the transportation sector. The following eight factors were chosen as effect indicators: population size, GDP per capita, civil vehicle ownership, passenger and freight turnover, urbanization rate, industry structure, and carbon emission intensity. Based on the pertinent data from 2002 to 2020, a support vector machine model, improved by a genetic algorithm (GA-SVM), was created to predict the carbon peak time under three distinct scenarios. The penalty factor c and kernel function parameter g of the support vector machine model were each optimized using a genetic algorithm, a particle swarm algorithm, and a whale optimization algorithm. The results indicate that the genetic algorithm vector machine prediction model outperforms the particle swarm algorithm vector machine model and the whale optimization vector machine. As a result, the model integrating the support vector machine and genetic algorithm can more precisely predict carbon emissions and the peak time for carbon in Jiangsu province.
