ATENA is a pilot project to test a fleet of low-environmental impact vehicles and to develop and strengthen an original trial involving the urban traffic management. The following topics were investigated in order to obtain an assessment of several real applications of telematics in the urban traffic scenario. Realisation of a centralised service of remote dynamic navigation with the use of traffic information from the public infrastructure. Realisation of the remote managing of the car engine control strategies from a ground station. Realisation of a floating probe car system where all the 80 vehicles are used in order to feed the traffic model with traffic data. Evaluation of benefits from the introduction of ecological vehicles through numeric simulation of several scenarios of penetration. The modelling uses estimates of emissions and consumption obtained from statistical analysis of fleet experimental data. The development of this topic taken in accounts the transferability of the concept of other urban scenarios. Realisation of a novel traffic control management ground station that will be used also after the end of the pilot project by the Municipality. For the covering abstract see ITRD E114174.
