Dynamic Low Emissions Zones
§Similar to today’s ITS: cordons
with fixed infrastructure (e.g., London’s Congestion
Pricing)
§Imagine tomorrow’s
connected vehicle:
□Connected
vehicle technology allowing for Low Emissions Zones that can be:
▪Scalable and moveable (e.g., pop-up for a day,
removable, flexible)
▪Not dependent on conventional ITS
infrastructure
▪Dynamic based on real-time vehicle
emissions data collected from vehicles and other sources
□Dynamic Low
Emissions Zones that provide incentives to drivers who practice “eco-driving” within the
Low Emissions Zone.
□Dynamic Low
Emissions Zones that encourage “green” transportation choices,
including transit options and freight operations.
