ENCONTRO CIÊNCIA 2017 Transportation Technology @ TEMA Margarida C. Coelho University of Aveiro Dept. Mechanical Engineering http://transportes-tema.web.ua.pt
“Transportation Technology” Research Group - Research Lines 1. Impacts of transportation systems On-going Projects: @CRUiSE Mobiwise CISMOB 2. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) 3. LCA of alternative energy vectors for road vehicles 4. Active modes (cycling & walking)
Motivation Europe: ~33% of energy consumption from transportation sector ~73% of transportation-related GHG are from road transport Vehicle emissions important source for air pollution (NOx, PM) Hydrocarbon fuels are expected to remain predominant over the next decades
Motivation
Research Challenges & Opportunities Where are the traffic congestion and emissions hotspots? What are the most critical links in terms of congestion? Where we should reduce pollution? What are the most vulnerable areas? Increasing availability of sensor technology to record large amounts of data Smartphone location data GPS (probe vehicle data) Cell phone density Traditional traffic road monitoring network
FCT Project “@CRUiSE: Advanced Impact Integration Platform for Cooperative Road Use” Goal: To integrate road traffic impacts into a single analytical framework for use in advanced traffic management systems (ATMS). 3 main pillars: Designing a conceptual methodology for assigning a link-based indicator that can evaluate different traffic-related externalities, adjusted to local contexts of vulnerability; Improving the interoperability between traffic-related models and new sources of traffic information; Optimizing the network operations by means of a decision support system. Consortium: TEMA (leader), CESAM, IT, ITRE-NCSU

MobiWise: from mobile sensing to mobility advising Projetos de Ações Conjuntas (FCT/COMPETE) Objective: To add value to mobility in the cities through the development of a 5G platform that encompasses the access infrastructure filled of sensors, people and vehicles, a flexible SDN control infrastructure, and network and cloud optimization. Start: January 2017 End: January 2020 Partners: IT Aveiro (leader) and Porto, CISUC, CMUC, TEMA
Cooperative information platform for low carbon and sustainable mobility Interreg Europe: European program to help regional and local governments across Europe to develop and deliver better policy. To ensure that government investment, innovation and implementation efforts leads to integrated and sustainable impact for people and place. Critical thinking, New ideas, Different perspectives, and Collective learning Cooperation Collaboration Community engagement Policy change
Inter-regional co-operation Phase 1 Share experience Set up- stakeholder group; Participate - Policy Learning Platforms; Action plan. Phase 2 monitor progress of the implementation Pilot actions may be supported Phase 1: 1st April 2016 – 31st March 2018 Phase 2: 1st April 2018 – 31st March 2020 Interreg Europe co-finances up to 85% of project activities Total Budget 1.04 M€

Reduction of local pollutants emissions ITS as a strategical choice to help decarbonising the transportation sector Sustainable Mobility Reduction of local pollutants emissions Energy consumption / CO2 reduction Sinergy This shows Toyota’s overall strategy for achieving CO2 reduction with environmental vehicles. We are developing a wide range of technologies, from advanced gasoline and diesel vehicles, to alternative fuels and electric vehicles. As you know, we recently introduced the world’s first production gasoline hybrid vehicle, the Prius. We believe this is the leader of eco-car technologies. Today, I would like to talk about a vehicle which is perhaps the ultimate eco-car -- the fuel cell hybrid vehicle. Behavioural change Vehicle Infrastructure Technology
