Final 2012/2013 AERIS webinar

The fifth and final webinar of the AERIS Fall//Winter 2012-2013 Webinar Series will take place on Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at 1:00 pm EST. The webinar will describe the results of a recent connected vehicle field experiment performed in two locations (University of California at Riverside and the Turner Fairbank Highway Research Center). Complementary modelling results will also be described. The field experiment was conducted in August 2012 and was based on the AERIS Program's Eco-Approach and Departure a

The fifth and final webinar of the AERIS Fall//Winter 2012-2013 Webinar Series will take place on Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at 1:00 pm EST.

The webinar will describe the results of a recent connected vehicle field experiment performed in two locations (University of California at Riverside and the Turner Fairbank Highway Research Center). Complementary modelling results will also be described.
 
The field experiment was conducted in August 2012 and was based on the AERIS Program's Eco-Approach and Departure at Signalised Intersections application. The field experiment included a roadside equipment (RSE) unit installed at a traffic signal broadcasting signal phase and timing (SPaT) messages using 5.9 GHz dedicated short range communication (DSRC). SPaT messages were received by the in-vehicle application and uses to provide speed recommendations to the driver that encourage green approaches to signalised intersections. Green approaches include speed recommendations that when applied allow the vehicle to traverse the signalized intersection on green or decelerating to a stop in the most environmentally efficient manner. Results were measured in terms of fuel savings and carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions reductions.

Dr Matthew Barth, the Director of the University of California, Riverside's Center for Environmental Research and Technology (CE-CERT), who conducted the study, will lead the webinar.  In addition, Dr Barth will discuss initial modeling efforts being conducted by the AERIS Program as they relate to Eco-Signal Operations.

    ITS homes in on cycling safety
    A new generation of ITS equipment is helping road authorities get to grips with cycle safety – and not a moment too soon as Colin Sowman discovers. Cyclists - remember them? Apparently not. At least not according to the OECD 2013 report Cycling, Health and Safety which contains the statement: ‘Cyclists are often forgotten in the design of the road traffic system’. Looking through the statistics that exist (each country appears to compile them differently) it is not difficult to see how such a conclusion cou

    Barcelona's bike share scheme a life saver
    A recent study of the health benefits of Barcelona's Bicing communal bike share scheme, reveals it is a life-saver, responsible for saving 12 lives a year. Barcelona's community bicycle programme, Bicing, was inaugurated in March 2007. One of several schemes operated in cities around the world by Clear Channel, it has fulfilled its role of providing an efficient, ecologically friendly and critically important form of transport, helping to increase urban mobility and reduce street congestion.

    Truck platooning trials take to the highways
    There is rising enthusiasm in America and beyond for the concept of truck platooning with trials being planned in several US states, as David Crawford reports. Growing numbers of US states are considering or implementing plans for trials of electronically-linked truck platooning on public road networks. This is in response to the interest being shown by the US$70bn a year road freight industry, where fuel represents 41% of the operating costs making the prospect of improving fuel economy by trucks travellin
