WP1: Traffic Flow Modelling & Simulation Considering Electric & Autonomous Vehicles |
WP1-O1: Development of physics-based traffic flow models for traffic stream composed of legacy vehicles, CAV and EV, which will be parametrised utilising available traffic data from ROI and NI transport networks. WP1-O2: Assess the impacts of the mixed flow of CAVs, EVs and legacy vehicles on the efficiency of road networks. |
WP2: Control of Transportation Networks Using Connected Autonomous Vehicles |
WP2-O1: To leverage the capability of CAVs to control traffic flow to improve road networks efficiency across the island of Ireland WP2-O1: To develop an optimised, cost-efficient transport network design considering control & penetration by CAVs. |
WP3: Optimal Design of Infrastructure to Support Transition to Electric & Autonomous Vehicle |
WP3-O1: Devise optimal strategies to upgrade transport infrastructures on both sides of the border to facilitate the transition to CAVs and EVs WP3-O2: Establish community engagement in improving EV infrastructure in rural and border communities. |
WP4: Project Management, Communication & Dissemination WP4-O1: To ensure the smooth running of the project and facilitate the integration of its activities, leading to a successful completion of the project within the allocated time. WP4-O2: To ensure that the results and outcomes of the project are disseminated regularly, appropriately and in an organised manner to maximise visibility and effectiv eness of the undertaking. |
