Autonomous and Connected vehicles for CleaneR Air (ACCRA)

英国政府的空气质量战略指出，每年有超过5万人因空气质量污染而过早死亡。交通排放是空气质量差的一个关键因素。配备内燃机和纯电动油罐车的车辆可以提供零排放(ZE)操作，但城市缺乏对车辆进行监控的能力。Accra项目是Dyniq、Tevva、Earth Sense、Transport Systems Catapult、Cenex和利兹市议会合作的项目，它将通过开发一种能够远程控制车辆能源管理系统的系统来解决这个问题，以确保AQ在最大限度地受益的情况下运行。这一行动将在利兹拟议的清洁空气区进行演示。在交通系统公司Catapult的全面管理下，该财团将开发混合动力车辆界面(Tevva)，这是一个决策引擎(Dinniq)，能够从一系列城市数据中获取输入，例如实时空气质量信息(Earthense)，可能会触发按需运行指令(称为主动地理围栏)。该系统的应用、市场、商业模式和可伸缩性将由Cenex和交通系统弹射器进行评估，以向利兹和其他CAZ城市通报其潜在用途。

UK Government AQ strategy states that there are over 50,000 premature deaths yearly due to AQ pollution. Emissions from transport are a key contributor to poor AQ. Vehicles which have an internal combustion engine and an electric only range can offer zero emission (ZE) operation but cities lack the ability to monitor and control the vehicles. Project ACCRA - a collaboration between Dynniq, Tevva, EarthSense, Transport Systems Catapult, Cenex and Leeds City Council - will address this problem by developing a system capable of allowing remote control of a vehicles energy management system to ensure ZE operation where it has maximum benefit to AQ. The operation will be demonstrated in a proposed Clean Air Zone in Leeds. Under the overall management of the Transport Systems Catapult, the consortium will develop a hybrid vehicle interface (Tevva), a decision-making engine (Dinniq) capable of taking inputs from a range of city data, such as live air quality information (EarthSense) potentially triggering on-demand ZE running instructions (known as active geofencing). The application, markets, business models and scalability of the system will be evaluated by Cenex and the Transport Systems Catapult to inform Leeds and other CAZ cities of the its potential use.
