User Needs for a Standardized CO2 Emission Assessment Methodology for Intelligent Transport Systems
The Amitran FP7 project will define a reference methodology to assess the impact of intelligent transport systems (ITS) on CO2 emissions. The methodology is intended to be used as a reference by future projects and covers both passenger and freight transport. The project will lead to a validated methodology, described in a handbook and complemented by an online checklist. The current paper focuses on the user needs assessment. To ensure the usefulness of the future methodology for potential users, the user needs are identified with the use of interviews, a survey and a workshop. This analysis unveils the demand for a standardised procedure for the assessment of impacts on traveler behaviour and CO2 emissions related to the deployment of ICT in transport. Stakeholders from all fields related to ITS development, deployment, and use from all over Europe are included in the analysis.
