European city reality

• Congestions

• CO2 emissions

• Pollution

European freight operator’s reality

• Economical competitiveness, including:

• Lower fuel consumption

• Lower CO2 emissions

• Lower level of pollution

Background


Drastically increase energy efficiency of goods transport in urban

areas through better speed adaptation (mainly reduction of stops

and reduction of accelerations).

Fuel consumption could be

reduced by up to 20-25%

Frey et.al. On-road vehicle emission workshop, San Diego, CA

Targeted improvement


1. Based on one year of real-life trials show that FREILOT services bring measurable and quantifiable benefits reducing up to 25% of fuel consumption on equipped trucks in urban areas

2. Ensure FREILOT services after-project life

3. Expand FREILOT services to more fleet operators, cities

Objectives


• Traffic control: Energy efficiency optimised intersections

• Vehicle: Adaptive acceleration/speed limiter

• Driver: Enhanced eco-driving support

• Fleet operator: Real-time delivery space booking

No single solution can drastically

increase freight energy efficiency!

FREILOT – A holistic approach


The four elements of the FREILOT service will be used in the following innovative, integrated, incentive based, win-win scheme:

• City or road authorities responsible for traffic in a pilot location will

implement a traffic management scheme giving priority to goods vehicles on certain roads and/or during certain times of the day;

• Only goods vehicles equipped with acceleration/adaptive speed limiters and eco-driving support function will be eligible for priority on these roads;

• In addition, the pilot cities will offer a service to these delivery vehicles

for dynamically scheduling of loading/unloading spaces.

FREILOT – A win-win scheme


Cities would need to update their traffic management system to support selective priority for eligible goods vehicles. Many cities already have bus priority scheme, which could for very low cost be adapted for this;

Cities benefit from the possibility to “steer” goods traffic towards preferred roads or preferred times of the day (e.g. 5-7 in the morning), through an incentive-scheme. As a result, these cities benefit from lower overall fuel consumption (considering all traffic participants), leading to lower CO2 emissions.
