Cooperative architecture of data acquisition for emission reduction in traffic

Increasing fuel prices, short-term inventories with CO2 emission growth worldwide have contributed to the development of technology in auto industry. Many advanced technologies in the auto industry have emerged in the last decade, but with little focus on driver behavior to reduce fuel consumption. With the implementation of cooperative intelligent transport system (C-ITS) architecture for data acquisition from the vehicles it is possible to achieve defined energy and environmental requirements in traffic. In this paper the areas of application of C-ITS in terms of support for eco-driving will be defined and presented. Also, the implementation of presented system can have the influence on traffic flow and other traffic parameters, but defines new requirements for other involved subsystems (driver-vehicle-infrastructure).
