ICT-emissions methodology for assessing ITS and ICT solutions

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have the potential to drastically change the way people drive and their mobility patterns, thus potentially reducing energy consumption, GHG emissions, air pollutants and fatalities. In this work, we present the results of ICT-Emissions project in terms of the defined methodology and the detailed architecture developed to evaluate the impact of several intelligent transport systems (ITS) and ICT measures on vehicle energy consumption and CO2 emissions. The methodology is based on an innovative easily adaptable and transferrable combination of traffic, driver and emission models. It can quantify energy consumption and CO2 emissions of various ITS categories such as driver assistance systems and eco-solutions traffic management and control measures. Both the theoretical basis and practical examples of applications have been developed with a selection of widely used models.
