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)

3. 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

4. Motivation

5. 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

6. 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

28. 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.
