Breakout Group Title: Effects of Vehicle Automation on Energy- and Carbon- Intensity (“Energy/Emissions”) Summary of Meeting Agenda: 9 presentations with extended free discussion
Breakout 18 Energy/Emissions: Findings/Lessons: opened session with good overview, based on summary of key findings from a National Center for Sustainable Transportation Study.
Caroline Rodier and Matt Barth
Breakout 18 Energy/Emissions: Reviewed many CAV technologies that can increase operational energy efficiency. Many come down to reducing congestion, smoothing traffic, and reducing aero losses at higher speeds.
Breakout 18 Energy/Emissions Breakout: Potential efficiency benefits of shared autonomous systems Findings/Lessons: Can measure benefts through simulation, ID tradeoffs Simulation of automated mobility district
Yuche Chen, NREL
Energy/Emissions Breakout: improving operation efficiency through automation Explore smoothed drive cycles in simulations of urban traffic models. Reductions in energy/GHGs, but also criteria pollutants
Dominik Karbowski, ANL
Breakout 18 Energy/Emissions: Scaling Up and Integrating Effects from specific cases to nationwide effects Findings/Lessons: Benefits vary, often increase with scale of adoption Improved aggregate national estimates by careful (challenging) integrations and scaling
Scaling up LDV platooning tech:
Platooning
Don MacKenzie
Jeff Gonder, Multilab study
Breakout Group Title: Action Items: • Follow-up dialog to Develop summary doc for proceedings • Highlight key insights, issues, research priorities
