SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY: WHAT IS IT ?

The expression “Sustainable Mobility” indicates the need to have a system of urban mobility in the world that allows everyone to exercise the right to mobility without affecting society with:

1) air pollution and greenhouse effect2) noise pollution3) traffic congestion4) road accidents5) consumption of non-renewable energy resources6) disposal of end-of-life vehicles

See for example EU guidelines on URBAN MOBILITY and SUSTAINABILITY:

ONU TARGET: CO2 REDUCTION

The ONU is at the forefront in controlling climate changes and committed to reduce greenhouse effects as required by the Kyoto Protocol.

Cars play an important role in everyday life, and are vital for employment and growth in many regions. On the other hand, they have a strong impact in terms of climate change: for example, in the EU about 12% of all emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the main greenhouse gas, is caused by fuel of vehicles.

Although the EU has reduced its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by nearly 5%, CO2 emissions from road transportation have increased by 26%.

ONU TARGET: ROAD SAFETY IMPROVING

The ONU is at the forefront in improving global road safety

Each year nearly 1.3 million people in the world die because of roadcrashes, 90 per cent of them in low- and middle-income countries.Another 20 to 50 million people suffer from serious injuries. Road trafficinjuries are also the leading cause of death for people 10-24 years of age.

Significant number of road traffic fatalities and injuries can be preventedfrom addressing the leading causes, which include excess of speed, lack ofseat-belt and child restraint use, drinking and driving, lack of helmet use byriders on two-wheels and three-wheels motorized vehicles, poorly designedand inadequately maintained roads, unsafe infrastructures and vehicles, andinadequate trauma care.

EU TARGET: CO2 REDUCTION

Following the ONU strategy about CO2 vehicle emissions, in April 2009 the European Parliament decided that CO2 emissions of new cars should be reduced on average to 130 g/km (in 2012) and to 95 g/km (in 2020). For light commercial vehicles, the average agreed reduction was 175 g/km (in 2017) and 147 g/km (in 2020).

EU TARGET: ROAD SAFETY IMPROVEMENT

The EU road safety guidelines aim to cut European road deaths by 50 % by the end of 2020. To do that, they would seek to make users, vehicles and infrastructure safer through a mix of measures: national cooperation, sharing best practices and researches/studies, awareness campaigns and, in some cases, government regulations.

GREEN & SAFETY STRATEGY: TECHNOLOGICAL BENEFITS

New technical specifications are necessary to exchange data andinformation between vehicles (V2V), between vehicles and infrastructure(V2I), and between two or more infrastructures (I2I). The possibility ofextending the implementation of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems(ADAS), such as Lane Departure Warning, Anti Collision Warning orPedestrian Recognition systems by retrofitting them to existing commercialand/or private vehicles, should also be further assessed. Thanks to thisstrategy for the acquisition of a car fleet, in this context, companies willbenefit from:

1) Fuel Cost Reduction (FUEL CONSUMPTION)

2) Vehicle Tax Reduction (TAXATION)

3) Energy and Environmental Cost Reduction (LIFETIME COSTS)

4) Road Accident Reduction (SAFETY)7/28

GREEN & SAFETY STRATEGY: TELEMATIC TOOLS

Telematics has the potential to play a considerable role in the improvement of traffic safety and CO2 reduction: for example through the adoption of systems to detect incidents, control fuel consumption and supervise traffic that are also able to provide real time information to road users.

GREEN STRATEGY: FUEL CONSUMPTION

Refueling represents approximately 25% of the total cost for a car fleet. A 20% reduction on the average CO2 emissions would generate 5% saving. This goal can be achieved in at least 2 or 3 years.

GREEN STRATEGY: TAXATION

In countries where a principle of taxation based on CO2 vehicle emissions is enforced, a 20% reduction of the average emissions of a company's fleet can lead to 14% saving on total costs (for example UK, Benelux)

GREEN STRATEGY: LIFETIME COSTS

This paradigm has been introduced by the European Union in PUBLIC PROCUREMENT but can also be used in PRIVATE PROCUREMENT of large multinational companies.

GREEN STRATEGY: LIFETIME COST CALCULATION

The introduction of LCC paradigm can help Companies to obtain a real BENCHMARK between vehicles of the same category. The related tool provided by the EU has the following purpose: the lifetime costs for energy consumption, CO2 emissions and pollutant emissions are monetised. These 3 environemental costs are calculated as follows:

Mileage * corresponding value of energy consumption (or emissions per kilometer) and * relevant cost per unit of energy or emission.

SAFETY STRATEGY: ROAD ACCIDENT REDUCTION

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) can provide personal assistance in a road environment that cannot always take into account the possibilities and limitations of the drivers.

GREEN AND SAFETY STRATEGY: FINAL CONCLUSION

Safe, clean and economical: this is the perspective of progress in automotive systems

today. This trend is supported by electronically controlled chassis systems, powertrain

management, assistance and information systems. All of these systems rely strongly on

the input from G sensors, and a growing share of them is manufactured using MEMS

technology from an Italian Company: ST Microelectronics.25/28

Applications

■ In anti-theft systems, the 3-axis accelerometer can sense the inclination of a car

or motorbike. If a tow truck is used to steal a vehicle, the accelerometer detects

small changes in inclination and activates the security system.

■ The accelerometer signal can be used to identify a severe accident. The doors

can be unlocked to allow rescuers to enter the car and save the passengers.

■ In crash recording, the accelerometer detects a collision, and all relevant data

can be recorded for later analysis.

■ In car navigation, the accelerometer can assist the GPS if the signal is lost. A

dead reckoning system continues tracking movements while the satellite

signals are not being received or where they are not sufficiently accurate

In general, the accelerometer can be used for automotive applications such as:

■ Car alarms

■ Vehicle tracking

■ Black boxes

■ Trailer tracking

■ Abuse monitoring

■ Seat controls

■ Navigation support (dead reckoning)

■ Antenna positioning

In the industrial field:■ Vibration in heavy duty and special machinery

■ Container black boxes
