The third webinar of the AERIS autumn/winter 2012-2013 webinar series will take place on Wednesday, 12 December 2012 at 1:00 pm EST. The webinar will provide an overview of the draft concept of operations for the dynamic low emissions zones transformative concept.
 
As part of the AERIS program's efforts to develop ways in which real-time transportation system data could improve the operation of the surface transportation network, six transformative concepts, or bundles of applications, were identified. Each of these transformative concepts encompasses a set of applications that individually achieve environmental benefits. By strategically bundling these applications, the program expects that these transformative concepts can achieve additional environmental benefits beyond those of the individual applications.
 
The dynamic low emissions zones transformative concept discusses connected vehicle operational strategies for geographically-defined areas that seek to restrict or deter access to specific categories of high-polluting vehicles to improve the air quality within the geographic area. This webinar will describe the concept of operations currently being developed for this Transformative Concept and will provide an overview of how each of its associated applications work together to achieve the goals of the program.

    Volkswagen Research is testing autonomous vehicles (AVs) at SAE Level 4 in real driving conditions in the German city of Hamburg. The announcement comes as the fall-out from VW’s ‘Dieselgate’ nightmare – when the company was found to have programmed turbocharged direct injection diesel engines to activate their emissions controls for laboratory tests - putters on. This week the company’s former chief executive Martin Winterkorn was charged with fraud for his involvement. But VW has admitted that the scan
