Emission Modeling
Emissions modeling in road transport:
How the managed reduction of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions can help the environment.
Public administrations today need to meet a wide variety of requirements: from financing the infrastructure to ensuring immission protection and maintaining air quality and the quality of life. Satellic has accepted this challenge and, on its universal telematics platform, also offers a range of environmental concepts, including emission modelling.
The Emission Modeling System (EMS) was specifically developed as a component of an integrated, environmentally aware traffic management solution for public administrations and fleet operators. It is used to determine and visualize traffic emission hotspots in cities and to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, as well as for environmentally compatible fleet management.
Using GNSS, the solution collects data about the movement of individual vehicles belonging to a representative fleet of e.g. taxis or buses. The data is collected by means of an intelligent, satellite-based On-Board Unit (OBU).
The mechanical performance of a vehicle is determined separately by time and place on the basis of a physical model and vehicle-specific static parameters, including engine and transmission efficiency, weight and the cw value.
By combining collected vehicle positions from individual vehicles journeys and emission values, emission hotspots are identified and visualized on an emissions map.
The application allows the OBU display to be used directly to give targeted feedback to the driver about the four above-mentioned performance types and the CO2 emissions. Based on this direct feedback, the individual driving behaviour can be directly, positively influenced, right up to management of entire fleets with regard to driving behaviour, fuel consumption and, in the final analysis, CO2 emissions.
One investment, one platform, many possibilities now and in the future.
Satellic’s Telematics-Platform provides an effective transport management tool delivering a range of techniques to better manage transport networks, raise revenue through optimized road tolling services and reduce the environmental impact of road traffic.
In addition to the nationwide tolling scheme including the world’s largest satellite-based truck toll system in Germany, Satellic also provides a range of different solutions for urban mobility and active environmental protection. These include city-toll systems, applications such as electronic tracking and tracing and the emission modeling system (EMS).
The current solutions provided by Satellic, based on the company's new Telematics-Platform, allow the implementation of flexible, highly-adaptable toll solutions and value-added services.
Satellic’s platform:
… is an integrated platform,
… is a modular and open platform,
… is based on standard software and open interfaces and guarantees complete
compatibility with existing and future GPS, GLONASS and Galileo satellite navigation
systems.
The solution makes optimal use of commercial off-the-shelf software and its open architecture enables ease of integration with existing systems to provide a unified approach to service delivery.
