The paper presents a solution for reducing road traffic emissions and particulate matter from non-electric (classic) vehicles in cities by sharing cooperative driving information. Vehicles are equipped with dynamics and GPS sensors. Ad-hoc vehicular networking (VANET) is used as media for communication. A specific algorithm is developed to collect anonymous information and suggest to drivers best...
EBSF — European Bus System of the Future (2008–2013) and the recently started EBSF_2 (2015–2018) are two research projects led by UITP and funded by the European Union with the aim of developing a new generation of buses across Europe. If the (accomplished) goals of the former were to increase the bus attractiveness by testing innovative vehicles (e.g. providing improved comfort and accessibility...
It's necessary to study vehicle emission characteristics and emission factors for establishing vehicle emission inventory and the corresponding control strategy. The paper presents the results of on-board exhaust emission tests of diesel and Compressed Natural Gas vehicles under real road conditions of city traffic using a PEMS equipment. The results show that the PEMS equipment can be used to test...
Intelligent transportation systems that distribute information between roadside infrastructures and vehicles are one of the most promising solutions to the problem of traffic congestion. When most existing ITS solutions are centralized and information-complete, we propose PDLAIS - a Partial, Decentralized and Locally Autonomous Strategy, tested with an application called Smooth Way, allowing drivers...
Governments, industries and last but not least customer's demand for low-pollutant, efficient and comfortable vehicles has extended the system development scope towards the combination of in-vehicle systems and environment. Whereas the information from the on-board systems is available for several functions per se, the environmental information has to be grabbed using sensors and/or communication...
Recently, ridesharing mobile applications, which dynamically match passengers to drivers, have begun to gain popularity. These services have the potential to fill empty seats in cars, reduce emissions and enable more efficient transportation. Ridesharing services become even more practical as robotic cars become available to do all the driving. In this work, we propose rideshare services which transfer...
India is witnessing a rapid surge in urban mobility demand as a result of its increasing population, rapid urbanization, rising income levels and the growth and spread of cities. The growth in urban travel demand is majorly driven by cities as LDV sales continue to increase at 26% and the share of two- and four-wheelers in the vehicle mix is increasing in cities. Such a pattern would have vital implications...
