Amitran methodology framework for evaluating the impact of information and communication technology-based measures on CO2 emissions in the transport field

Transport is an important source of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Although the applications of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for transport, also known as intelligent transport systems, are seen as having great potential to help reduce emissions from road transport, their exact impact on CO<inf>2</inf> emissions...

Methodology and framework architecture for the evaluation of effects of ICT measures on CO2 emissions

Applications of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have been identified to have a significant contribution to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions in the field of transport. The mechanisms by which ICT have an impact on CO2 emissions can be very complex, and calculating this impact requires various models (e.g. traffic and...

Reducing local traffic emissions at urban intersection using ITS countermeasures

In many countries traffic emissions have significantly increased during the last two decades because of the increased number of vehicles. As such, traffic emissions have become the main source of air pollution in urban areas, where breaches of the EU limit values frequently occur. To reduce these emissions, local traffic measures can be...
