Pathways to Decarbonization & Digital Innovation in Transport: The Role of Electrification of Transport in Mitigating Climate Change and Use of Big Data to Manage Traffic & Congestion
1. The Role of Electrification of Transport in Mitigating
Climate Change, use of Big Data to Manage Traffic &
Congestion
Marta C. Gonzalez, City and Regional Planning, Civil and Environmental Engineering
2. Motivation
20+ M
FACTS:
5+ M 41% penetration
Daily movements
From Data to Information
From Information to Action:
Better informed policies for
the environment, public health
and inclusive well being
3. • Data Driven Transportation
• Taking into account sparse and
incomplete data allows for
Demand Management
Strategies
Intervention, research design
4. Travel demand prediction during Rio Olympics
(a)Tourist travel mode split
(a)Total travel demand during Olympics: 1.8 million people and
0.5 million vehicles in peak hour.
14. Discussion, policy implications
• ICT data can be used to generate urban scale mobility models
• With infrastructure demand we can plan traffic, introduction of new
technologies and energy savings
• Knowledge of individual mobility increase the feasibility of travel
management strategy
• Proper mechanisms to convince PEV owners is necessary to accurately
grasp the future energy demand as well as pressure of the power grid.
