Webinar - Do we still need to worry about emissions?

The European Commission is supporting a joint effort between three regions – EU, US and Japan – to reach an agreement on a common assessment methodology for determining the impacts of ITS on energy efficiency and CO2 emissions. Ecostand believes that a standard methodology for assessing the impacts of ITS on CO2 emissions should have the following characteristics: • produce an accurate and fully reliable estimate of emissions, • be able to compare different ITS solutions operating under the same circumstanc

The 1690 European Commission is supporting a joint effort between three regions – EU, US and Japan – to reach an agreement on a common assessment methodology for determining the impacts of ITS on energy efficiency and CO2 emissions. Ecostand believes that a standard methodology for assessing the impacts of ITS on CO2 emissions should have the following characteristics:

• produce an accurate and fully reliable estimate of emissions
• be able to compare different ITS solutions operating under the same circumstances
• be cost effective and easy to use
• be repeatable

Ecostand, the EC-supported initiative leading the work on this methodology, will present its preliminary findings at the 2013 Annual 856 Transportation Research Board Conference in Washington, USA, on 16 January 2013 (details from [email protected]).

A webinar to be held on 11 January 2013, 14:30 pm CET aims to provide more information on the scope of Ecostand work, and for those present at TRB 2013, what will be discussed on 16 January and how to contribute.

Speakers:

Martijn de Kievit, TNO, Ecostand coordinator
Steffen Rasmussen, head of traffic design, City of Copenhagen
Siebe Turksma, 101 Peek Traffic
Marcia Pincus, 324 US Department of Transportation

Presentations will be followed by a question and answer session.
