Call for Abstracts: Automated Vehicles Symposium 2018

Organizers of the 2018 Automated Vehicles Symposium (July 9-12 in San Francisco) are welcoming structured abstracts on topics related to the energy and emissions impacts of connected & automated vehicles (CAVs). Accepted speakers will be invited to present their work in a breakout session sponsored by the Transportation Research Board’s Standing Committee on Transportation Energy and Subcommittee on the Energy and Demand Implications of Connected & Automated Vehicles. Energy & emissions topics can range in scope from the vehicle-level to the system-wide perspective and include but are not limited to the following themes:

• Advances in enabling technologies for altruistic energy-efficient mobility systems
• Innovations in propulsion system, vehicle, and infrastructure design for CAVs
• Identification of baseline and transient energy and emissions profiles of CAVs
• Implications of market adoption and consumer acceptance on energy and emissions of CAVs
• Policy considerations for CAVs energy usage and emissions mitigation strategies.

More details, including submission instructions, can be found in the full call for abstracts. Note that the deadline for abstract submission in March 5.
