Popis: The EU FP7 project eCoMove created an integrated solution for more energy efficient road transport based on cooperative technology. The project's core concept assumed that there is theoretical minimum energy consumption achievable with the "perfect eco-driver" travelling through the "perfectly eco-managed" road network. Microscopic traffic flow simulation played an important role for the assessment of traffic efficiency and energy efficiency as only a few vehicles could be equipped with the eCoMove System in the real world. The simulations were performed for different test sites, application combinations, traffic demands and penetration rates. This paper gives an overview of the test sites, the traffic management applications, the simulation environment used and presents conclusions from the simulation studies.
