Carbon abatement mechanism
Satellite navigation systems help drivers find the quickest route to their destination and, increasingly, are also able to advise on avoiding congestion.
Savings from reduced mileage and avoided stop-start driving. Real-time traffic information, enabled by IoT connections can deliver additional emission savings over and above the baseline of a stand-alone satellite navigation system. Assumed 8% in fuel savings enabled by satellite navigation. Smart bins allow optimised routing for the bin collections, which leads to reduced number of trips for the same waste collection, resulting in reduced fuel usage. Savings in distance travelled enabled by optimised dispatch of taxis across the fleet. Assumed 5% fuel savings per connection. Carbon savings will be due to reduced fuel consumption from improved driver behaviour as a result of feedback provided to the drivers, and the incentive for reduced insurance premiums. There are also carbon savings due to reduced number of accidents and the emissions associated with vehicle repairs. Savings come from fuel efficiencies in shorter distances travelled due to the route optimisation. Fuel savings per delivery vehicle assumed to be 10% while using handheld terminals. Savings from reduced mileage and excess fuel consumption. Assumed 12.1% in fuel savings, this comes from a weighted average savings of cars pre and post 2019 as well as taking into consideration any potential double counting from fleet management. The fuel savings per mechanism are: 3.3% for adaptive cruise control, 1.5% for tyre pressure monitoring, 8.7% from general connected car savings and 2% from incremental telematics increases.

Municipal waste bins are linked to a computer server by IoT connections and update the server on a regular basis to relay information on how full the bins are, when the bins are full sensors trigger the system to include that particular bin in a collection round. A central taxi dispatch and control system is able to communicate electronically with taxis and receive automatic updates on location of all taxis in a fleet, which allows for optimised dispatch of taxis. Usage based car insurance involves collecting data telematics from vehicles to monitor how the vehicles are driven, offering feedback to the drivers for improvement of safety, efficiency and best practice. Handheld terminals are used in the route optimisation of delivery vehicles (LGVs). The route optimisation solution allows the most fuel-efficient route to be used to deliver the same service or number of deliveries. Connected car technology enables over the air software updates, allowing remote and immediate software updates (to correct issues). This helps reduce the need to call back cars to the service partners. It also allows for dynamic routing to reduce travel time and fuel/energy consumption. Remote monitoring reduces the change of damage parts with new parts (reduces carbon footprint for producing new or spare parts) and tyre management. Lastly, its start stop capability further reduces fuel consumption while driving.
