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50,000人因空气质量污染而过早死亡。交通工具的排放是造成空气质量差的主要原因。内燃机和纯电动汽车可以提供零排放（ZE），但城市缺乏对车辆的监控能力。ACCRA项目是由Dynniq、Tevva、EarthSense、Transport Systems Catapult、Cenex和利兹市议会合作开发的，该项目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一问题，以确保ZE在最大程度上有利于AQ的情况下运行，该项目将在利兹拟议的清洁空气区进行演示。在运输系统弹射器的整体管理下，该联盟将开发一个混合动力汽车接口（Tevva），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（EarthSense），可能触发按需ZE运行指令（称为主动地理护栏）。该系统的应用、市场、商业模式和可扩展性将由Cenex和运输系统弹射器进行评估，以告知利兹和其他CAZ城市其潜在用途。

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.
