POSSIBILITIES• New solutions could be, for example:

• Bus interior design choices; comfort and passenger experience• Passenger services such as real-time information on connections or alternative

options (e.g. availability of nearby city bikes and last-mile solutions)• Environmental monitoring technologies (e.g. indoor and outdoor air quality)• Sensor and IoT data from the vehicle and environment for service development• Technology testing and validation (e.g. passenger counting, V2X)• …

• Testing V2X and automationsolutions

• Part of the fleet can be ‘dummy’ =>bus platooning

eGRIP - Dynamic road slipperiness detection

Based on in-vehicle sensors

Slipperiness determined during normaldriving, with no additional sensorsFuture applications include constant roadtemperature monitoring, actualized carbonfootprint, load monitoring and detectingdangerous driving styleIn the future the vehicle can recognizeslipperiness itself and make corrective actionsApplicable for autonomous vehicles

DRIVING OPTIMIZATION SOLUTIONS, EGRIP – SAFER ROADS, LESS TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS WITHOUT DRIVERS INPUT

ENHANCED ROAD CONDITION FORECASTSINPUT DATA FROM VEHICLES

Mobile observations

• Road surface temperature• Road surface state• Amount of water/ice• Road friction coefficient• Air temperature• Etc..

Maintenance actions

• Amount of salt• Dry, pre-wetter & brine• Plowing data

SENSING THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT / FORECA• Testing the use of a sensor package (Harris

Sensus) installed outside the bus body• GPS, 3 axis accelerometer• 8 MP camera• Road surface temp• CO2 & NO2 sensors (parts / billion)• Ambient sound• Pressure, humidity• Air temp

(eDAS) Connected Driver guidanceSoftware-based solution, eliminating the need toinstall any additional equipment in most vehicles.

Real-time instructions to the driver for moreefficient and safer driving

Unbiased comparison of drivers and vehicles

Learning optimal speed profiles to save energy andincrease safety

Smart timetable planning

Analysis takes into account seasonal changes, timeof day (rush hour), driving style, vehicle differences
