Impact of Signalized Intersections on CO2 and NOx Emissions of Heavy Duty Vehicles

Pollutant emissions have been a topic of interest in the last decades. Not only environ mentalists but also governments are taking rapid action to reduce emissions. As one of the main contributors, the transport sector is being subjected to strict scrutiny to ensure it complies with the short and long-term regulations. The measures imposed by...

Yard Emission monitoring for Sustainability: Real-world measurements and outlook on Connected Automated Transport developments for yards

Technological advancements are enabling higher levels of automation of vehicles and as such Connected and Automated Transport (CAT). This is an umbrella term for transport with increasing levels of automation facilitated by communication among vehicles (vehicle-to-vehicle or V2V) and infrastructure (vehicle-to infrastructure or V2I). Especially...

Requirements Review from EU projects: D2.1 of H2020 project ENSEMBLE

This document is a starting document of ENSEMBLE, gathering experiences in general and requirements in particular of past (EU) projects on truck platooning as part of WP2. In the course of writing this deliverable it turned out that no detailed public information is available on requirements or specifications. Hence this deliverable should be...

Value Case Truck Platooning - an early exploration of the value of large-scale deployment of truck platooning

In the Netherlands, the well-developed multi-mode accessible Rhein/Meuse/Scheldt delta region continues to flourish as the gateway to Europe. At the same time, severe congestion is threatening the quality of life. Adding to the challenges is a shortage of qualified truck drivers and the fact that no significant extensions to the physical road...
