Ecodriving Ecodriving is the concept of changing driving behavior and vehicle maintenance to impact fuel Sustainability Forum/to be
consumption and emissions. This entails in-vehicle technology such as real-time driver feedback (e.g., considered for AM program as
Toyota Prius in-vehicle navigation screen), education and information (i.e., driving habits and vehicle well
maintenance), and ITS-supported strategies (e.g., signal systems to support “riding the green wave,”
9 variable speed limits in support of “maintaining an optimum highway speed for good mileage,” and
traveler information to support “navigating to reduce carbon dioxide.” This session explores
technologies, experience, and perspectives on ecodriving from around the world.
Carbon Footprinting Traveler information services in Europe, America, and Asia are increasingly providing estimates on how Sustainability Forum/to be
trip modes contribute to carbon emissions (also known as “carbon footprinting”). A carbon footprint considered for AM program as
measures the impact that human activity has on the environment, particularly climate change. well
Transportation agencies are also becoming more interested in the carbon footprint resulting from their
10 operations and maintenance activities. In light of new laws/regulations, increased public awareness, and
unstable fuel prices, there is growing public and policy interest in carbon footprinting. This session
explores carbon calculators, mobile apps, incentives, and other tools related to managing a carbon
footprint.
Performance Measures for The challenge of reducing energy use and emissions is reaching a critical stage in light of global Sustainability Forum/to be
Sustainability warming. This session explores how emerging ITS strategies, such as Active Transportation and considered for AM program as
11 Demand Management (ATDM) and Managed Motorways - incorporating variable speed limits, lane well
control, shoulder running, etc., can help reduce the levels of transport-related energy consumption and
greenhouse gas emissions.
Adaptation Global warming is occurring and climate changes are unlikely to unfold gradually. Climate changes and Sustainability Forum/to be
their impacts – such as an increased number of hot days, rising sea levels, increase in intense considered for AM program as
precipitation events, and an increase in hurricane intensity – will require significant changes in planning, well
design, operation, and maintenance of the transportation infrastructure. This session will explore how
12 ITS technologies and operations strategies can contribute to “adaptation” – that is, accommodating
climate change impacts that are already occurring and will continue to occur in the foreseeable future.
Examples include emergency management and evacuations from affected areas, tools for identifying
critical infrastructure, and technologies for automatically identifying infrastructure problems resulting from
weather extremes.
Potential Consequences This session is focused on examining the intended and unintended consequences of pricing (including Sustainability Forum/to be
(Unintended and Intended) cordon, HOT lanes, parking) and alternative fuel vehicle incentives (e.g., feebates, HOV lane access) on considered for AM program as
13 of Pricing and Other surface transportation. The session primarily examines the energy and environmental impacts of these well
Incentives strategies.
Induced Demand Recent research – consisting of both field evaluations and simulations – strongly indicate that Sustainability Forum/to be
transportation system management and operational strategies and the supporting ITS technologies have considered for AM program as
an important role to play in reducing GHG emissions from the surface transportation network. However, well
some have argued that by making the transportation network more efficient and reliable, this induces
additional drivers to use the facility, thereby increasing VMT and significantly reducing the initial benefits
of ITS overtime--much in the same way that a new roadway eventually becomes congested. This
14 sessions will explore the nature of “induced demand” – defined (from an economic perspective) as “the
additional travel that occurs as a result of lowering the generalized cost of travel (excluding the
independent increases due to population and income growth).” Topics to be examined include the
similarities and potential differences in induced demand elasticities between new / added capacity and
improved operational efficiency and reliability, any differences between different regions, and operating
strategies for minimizing induced demand.
Goods Movement and One challenge for the freight industry, policy makers, and the public is the lack of easily accessible Sustainability Forum/to be
GHGs information about the costs/savings of available technologies that can improve efficiency and reduce considered for AM program as
15 GHG emissions. This session will explore strategies, such as ecodriving, smart parking for trucks, truck well
electrification, automatic tire inflation, and hybrid trucks.

Open Transit Data: Making Carol S. Schweiger, One of most significant developments in the public transport industry is in the area of “open data.” The online submittal
Public Transport More TranSystems availability of open data is revolutionizing the way that riders can access information regarding public
Accessible Corporation transport services. While the number of U.S. agencies with open data has increased markedly over the
past two years, other agencies worlwide have embraced opening their data for the development of real-
time and other transit applications. For example, in 2010, Transport for London began to provide free
access to data which was either unavailable to the public or its use was restricted. This session will
33 explore the open data approach by which individual mobile and Internet application developers can use
transit agency data to develop applications. Further, the session will describe the use of open data both
from the perspective of the resources required by an agency to participate in an open data program and
the benefits to customers while saving the costs that would be necessary for the agency to develop
information applications in-house.

and to build connectivity and networked applications in order to improve the value provided to the users
of vehicles, services, efficiency and safety of the transportation network. So the link between modes of
transport will have high ranking.
Target on young generation: Many of the ITS applications under development will take several years
(sometimes 10 or 20) to be deployed over a wide area like Europe. It seems necessary to stimulate the
interest of the future users of the transport system to get familiar with the new technologies and
application to create demand. The program of 2012 will focus to tis topic with specific activities to extend
the involvement of the „next generation‟ of users toward the functionality and performance of ITS.

The Swedish Transport Administration has a clear objective to promote the introduction of Intelligent Risto Kulmala, Finnish Road Administration
Transport Systems (ITS). It is necessary to integrate ITS into the regular transport planning process both
within the STA and in the Regions and Municipalities. To be able to evaluate and plan for ITS measures
it is required to estimate effects of ITS through Cost Benefit Analyses and other traffic analyses.
The STA is working both nationally and with other European countries to increase the knowledge of ITS
effects and benefits. The subject of ITS Evaluation has also been discussed at an international level,
latest at the ITS World Congress 1010 in Busan, Korea. This present proposal is founded on ongoing
discussions within the Nordic countries as well as the ideas from the discussions in Busan.
Within Sweden as well as in many other countries there is a common challenge in providing good ITS
evaluations and recycling of ITS benefits.

Standards The follow-on COMeSafety2 project will over the next three years work to turn the original architecture
from a theoretical blueprint for cooperative systems communications into a reference model for the real
deployment of cooperative vehicles, infrastructure and services. This session will identify the challenges
facing this transition and explore the requirements and key elements for a European cooperative mobility
deployment architecture. Topics to be presented include:
- Background on the architecture and its way to a European Norm
- What is the role of the architecture for FOTs? How can FOT results contribute to the architecture?
- Can standards be organised around the architecture?
- Which interfaces must be defined, and where will they be standardised?
- What else is needed for a complete and deployable cooperative ITS system architecture?
- Which levels of the architecture must be defined, which subsets of the architecture are possible?
- What would a deployment roadmap look like?

business and acceptance aspects.
The technical side poses questions like:
- What standards and technologies are available and relevant?
- How can interoperability be achieved in such an heterogeneous environment?
- What lessons can be drawn from field operation tests to improve standards and technologies?
On the business side the following questions are key:
- What are key strategies and use cases to motivate financing organizations?
- Who are the customers and what are they willing to pay for?
- How can users made aware and how can cost versus benefit be assessed?
In this session, the speakers will answer the above questions and oppose their views and approaches to
each other.
Thereby, discussing the different areas of focus for the respective organization, as well as their
expectations of C2X deployment.
Representing OEMs, road operators and supporting initiatives, the speakers will shed light on their
efforts deploying C2X technologies.
Additionally, as the one of the leading EU-projects to put C2X on the road, DRIVE C2X will share its view
of possible business models and use cases.
