How IOT Based Automated Driving Can Help Cities to Reduce Air Pollution

Abstract

This paper looks at the relation between IOT (Internet of Things) assisted automated driving and the challenge of air pollution causing mobility access restrictions for European cities. After a brief discussion of the EC regulatory framework, the need for additional pollution data will be described suggesting to shift existing single-source air quality models to 2D and even 3D measurement platforms for improved air quality monitoring. Finally, the role of telecommunication and ICT industry for automated driving solutions will be elaborated, following by the description of pilot services contracted in the Horizon 2020 EU funded Autopilot project, currently under project execution in several European large-scale pilot sites.
