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.

    The International Road Federation has issued a wake up call to government ministers, in the form of its Vienna Manifesto on ITS. Four years on from coming to a key decision on ITS, the International Road Federation (IRF) now faces a further question – how can it ensure its Vienna Manifesto on ITS achieves maximum impact? This is a challenge the organisation is not taking lightly. Issues the manifesto has been drawn up to address have become more acute in the time taken to publish it and are forecast to wors

    A new report prepared for the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership (LowCVP) by Ricardo indicates that a wide range of innovative technologies can cut carbon emissions from buses and provide a short-term payback at current fuel prices and subsidy levels. The aim of the LowCVP study was to identify a range of low carbon fuels and technologies which can cost-effectively reduce well-to-wheel CO2 emissions for urban buses in the UK. The report developed technology roadmaps to illustrate when these technologies are lik

    While initial cost of radar based detection may be higher than that traditional loops, lower maintenance costs more than balance the books. Following successful field tests, the US city of Greenville, North Carolina, has recently agreed a new policy of phasing in Wavetronix traffic sensor technology’s radar-based SmartSensor Matrix system across its signalised traffic intersections. City traffic engineer Rik DiCesare expects the incremental implementation to deliver benefits to both the city’s taxpayers an
