Introduction and context Transport causes large part of CO2 emissions

  • Transport related CO2 emissions from EU: 1156Tg
  • Proportion of the total CO2 emissions from EU: 25.91%
  • Source: European Environment Agency, for 2005

But who will tell me?

  • Lots of people, however…
  • … no single website ⇒ not enough time
  • ….or else, commercially integrated

Lack of accessible tools that allow people to act

Finding your way

With current solutions

  • Focus on 1 transport means
  • Hub-to-hub
  • Fee-based
  • Focus on price or time
  • Multi-step

With routeRANK

  • All possible means
  • End-to-end
  • Independent

⇒ Optimality

  • Price, time and CO2 emissions
  • Single view on one screen

Challenge 1: Algorithmic complexity Many possible routes Multiple criteria Usability requirements Performance requirements

  • Performance constraints

Scalability requirements

slide-7
SLIDE 7

Challenge 2: Data complexity Multitude of data

  • Air, rail, road, …

Heterogeneity of data Live and changing

  • Low cost, …

Accuracy Multitude of agents

  • Same seat, different fare

Applicable rules and fares

  • Business travel

Challenge 3: CO2 methodology Accuracy

  • Road maintenance
  • Energy mix

Standards and discussion Insufficiency Data availability

  • Occupancy

Independent verification Endorsement

Challenge 4: Risk methodology Types

  • Relevance

Model Data/Statistics

  • Availability

Challenge 5: Evaluation of savings (1/2) Savings while travelling clear

  • But quantify

In terms of cost, time, emissions Productivity, risks, overall, etc. Assumptions otherwise

  • Pilot study: Exploratory examples, questionnaire behaviour, assumptions
  • Simulated optimum routes for variety of user types and criteria
  • Linear regression and weighted least squares model fitting
  • ‘Average’ user, for example, could stand to save around 35% / 2.5h

Challenge 5: Evaluation of savings (2/2) Individuals and businesses Estimate prior and report after Microeconomic and macroeconomic Savings while planning Educational and other impact Travel and transport
