| Summary | In recent years, the increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has expedited global warming. Energy-saving and carbon reduction policies have thus become core issues in numerous countries worldwide. Taiwan also acknowledges the importance of energy-saving and carbon reduction. To effectively reduce energy consumption and GHG emissions, the aggregated international efforts have been exerted to develop intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in anticipation of incorporating ITS information technologies to resolve these issues.
The present project is an extension of the outcomes of former projects (2011, 2012, and 2013), which manifested demonstrations on the energy-saving and carbon reduction effectiveness of ITSs. This project shall proceed in collecting information on eco-route road networks, while simultaneously establishing a historical database on relevant road-section information. This historical database shall then operate seamlessly with speed/fuel meters to create a fuel/emissions system database. In the construction of experimental data, we anticipate the use of probe vehicles equipped with GPS devices to engage in at least four sessions of data collection with four similar vehicle models. The key performance index (KPI) estimation system for energy-saving and carbon reduction can primarily be used to provide KPI parameters (fuel consumption, CO2 emissions) for the routes processed by the front-end energy-saving and carbon reduction APP, which serve as a reference during route selection. After routes are processed through the front-end energy-saving and carbon reduction APP, the data are returned to the route data of the vehicle’s GPS to calculate actual fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, and travel time during travel. These data shall then be stored in the information database and serve as a reference for subsequent KPI verification and effectiveness evaluations. The project evaluated route selection and fuel consumption effectiveness based on the affects that transportation information have on pedestrians to determine the actual energy-saving and carbon reduction performance of ITSs. The results obtained in the present project can serve as a reference for the future promotion of ITS policies. |
