Automotive IT solution for social eco-driving – A case study from the project INTEGREEN
1 like874 views
The document summarizes the INTEGREEN project which used mobile sensors and vehicles to collect traffic and environmental data in real-time. This data was transmitted to a traffic management center and used to test more environmentally-focused traffic policies. The project also conducted awareness campaigns to educate the public and shared results with other European projects. The data collection and testing improved understanding of the relationship between traffic and air pollution to help traffic managers develop more sustainable strategies.

Social assessment (impact level) Awareness-raising campaign & networking Awareness-raising campaing: need to focus to very specific focus groups that could act as natural «mulitpliers» of the concept conveyed by INTEGREEN High and primary schools Professional drivers Tourists Citizens’ «models» Social activities have a fundamental importance in order to put the premises for structural changes in the targeted scenario and to give other decision- makers the basis to replicate the INTEGREEN approach in other similar environments. Objectives of this parallel activities have been specifically consolidated in the dissemination plan defined at the project’s start.
