The project aims at enabling travellers to understand and reduce greenhouse (GHG) emissions related to mobility working on their choices and behaviours The logical background The rationale (MCM) Providing information is not enough: understanding the problem is half the solution…but not the complete solution. If we want to reduce GHG, travellers need a compelling proposition to adjust their behaviours and choices. A new context has to be provided with a mechanism including: a quantitative target a path to make the approach to the target measurable a driving force (incentive or obligation) from the current status to the target. Technology as enabler (MCP) The need to have an electronic wallet brings from the MCM to the “Mobility Credits Platform” (“MCP”), that is the technical implementation of the model requiring the use of current and future ICT.
The Mobility Credits Platform is enabled by ICT, is supported by FOUR PILLARS with a foundation on the behaviours and choices of travellers Mobility Credits Platform Enabler : ICT Sustainable GHG Load Consumption rules Assignment of credits Exchange of credits Context: behaviours and choices
GHG load in an urban area: definition Lj N i 2 1 …….. j …….. M 2 1 Lj = individual GHG load [kg] N= individual number of trips M = number of subjects
The sustainable GHG load in an urban area (FIRST PILLAR) Lj Reduce GHG load to reach the level of sustainability N i 2 1 …….. j …….. 2 1 Lj = individual GHG load [kg] N= individual number of trips M = number of subjects
Translation of sustainable GHG load into mobility credits and assignment to individuals (SECOND pillar) Lj Lj Reduce GHG load to reach the level of sustainability N Lav i 2 1 …….. …….. j …….. M j …….. M 2 2 1 1 Lj = individual GHG load [kg] N= individual number of trips M = number of subjects s(t) = space travelled as a function of time [km] GHG(t) = instantaneous production of GHG [kg/km] Ltot= GHG load [kg]
Consumption rules – example (THIRD pillar) E F Car: Length 350 cm Width 164 cm Gasoline Engine, Euro 4 Time: 10:00 am Trip length: 15 km Credit consumption: 2 F E C D B C D Car: Length 420 cm Width 170 cm Diesel Engine, Euro 4 Time: 4:00 pm Trip length: 7 km Credit consumption: 3 A B Car: Length 440 cm Width 174 cm Gasoline Engine, Euro 3 Time: 8:00 am Trip length: 10 km Credit consumption: 10 A Rules of credits comsumption
Credits Credits Exchange of credits (FOURTH pillar) Citizens’ behaviours Credits • A • He needs much more than the initial assignment of credits. Possible choices: • He buys credits • He becomes more “virtuous” by changing his mobility modes (e.g using more LPT) • B • He needs more than the initial assignment of credits. Possible choices: • He buys credits Credits • C • He needs the same initial assignment of credits. Possible choices: • he neither buys not sells credits • D • He needs a bit less than the initial assignment of credits. Possible choices: • he improves his mobility choices in order to be able to sell more credits Initial Assignment € A B C D E • E • He needs much less than then the initial assignment of credits. Possible choices: • He sells credits Citizens
