FREILOTEnergy efficient urban freight

Zeljko JefticERTICO – ITS Europe

European city and road operator reality

• Congestion

• CO2 emissions

• Pollution

European fleet operators’ reality

• Economical competitiveness, including:

• Lower fuel consumption

• Lower CO2 emissions

• Lower level of pollution

Background

31/08/2010 2FREILOT presentation

Targeted improvements

3

Drastically increase energy efficiency of goods transport in

urban areas through better speed adaptation (mainly

reduction in the number of stops and less acceleration).

Fuel consumption could be

reduced by up to 25%

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

FREILOT presentation31/08/2010

1. Show that FREILOT services bring measurable benefits reducing fuel consumption by up to 25% on equipped trucks in urban areas

2. Ensure FREILOT services after-project life

3. Expand FREILOT services to more fleet operators, cities

Objectives

4FREILOT presentation31/08/2010

Duration: 1 April 2009 – 31 March 2012

Total budget = 4 M€

Consortium partners (main):

Cities and road operators: City of Bilbao, City of Helmond, Ville de Lyon, Grand Lyon, (GDDKiA)

Fleet operators: Van den Broek Logistics, Azkar Transportes, Nanuk (+ 14 others)

Technology suppliers: Volvo, Peek Traffic, Renault Trucks, Thetis, Gertek

Facts and figures


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!

A holistic approach


City or road authorities give priority to goodsvehicles on certain roads and/or during certaintimes of the day;

Only goods vehicles equipped with acceleration

and adaptive speed limiters and eco-drivingsupport function are eligible for this priority; In addition, where needed, the pilot cities willoffer a service to these delivery vehicles fordynamically scheduling of delivery spaces.

A win-win scheme


Road operators (cities or road authorities) would need to update their traffic management system to support selective priority for eligible goods vehicles.

Road operators 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.

Acceleration limiter

11

• Limits vehicle acceleration in order to optimise the fuel consumption in relation to mobility trade-off

• Mobility targets will be defined by the operator

• Tailor made to optimise a specific route

5-10% fuel

saving!

Dataset Calibration

Optimised parameters are defined in off-board simulation tool and loaded to the trucks before departure

Speed limiter

13

R&D work indicates that 1% of fuel can be saved inurban driving each time the average speed is lowered by1 km/h

Functionality:• Vehicle position is sent to back office via GPS• Back office determines if truck is in speed limited area• Speed limit is decided and sent to the truck• Driver validates the instruction, or limitation is set

automatically

• Override function available in case of security risk

1% fuel saving

per km/h!

Intersection control

Up to 20% of fuel

saving for heavy

of road!


Intersection control

16

• Heavy, high impact vehicles get priority on certain roads and/or during certain times of the day based on one of the following:

• Size (passive detection)• (Pre-) Co-operative technology

• This leads to less stops and more efficient travel time for high impact vehicles

• 5-15% overall reduction in stops


Delivery Space Booking

17

• Fleet operator can book delivery spaces in certain highly trafficked areas to avoid need of double parking or searching for a space

• Benefits• More efficient and safer delivery• Traffic flow in city is undisturbed• Decrease of gas emissions• Improved work conditions for the driver
