Estimating Vehicular Emissions From Auto Rickshaws Plying in Bengaluru
2018
Author(s): Thakur P, Pal S
The objective of this research paper is to estimate the vehicular emissions in form of carbon dioxide (CO2), particulate matter 10 (PM10) and nitrogen oxide (NOX) emitted by the auto rickshaws plying in Bengaluru city and recommend policy based solution based upon the estimated alternative scenarios.
Monte Carlo Procedure to Evaluate the E-mobility Impact on the Electric Distribution Grid
2018
Author(s): Mirbagheri SM, Bovera F, Falabretti D, Moncecchi M, Delfanti M, Fiori M, Merlo M
The aim of this paper was to evaluate the impact of the e-mobility charging processes on the electric grid, in a real-life study case. The study was developed according to three different recharging modes, the first based on domestic charging process, the second relevant to public fast charging station, the latter based on enhanced, very fast, public charging stations.
Processing Electric Vehicle Charging Transactions in a Blockchain-Based Information System
2018
Author(s): Kirpes B, Becker C
Electromobility, electric vehicles (EVs) and charging infrastructure are major building blocks for a sustainable energy future. With the emergence of sustainable IS topics, energy informatics as the comprising research discipline receives increasing attention.
Assessment of Electric Car Promotion Policies in Chinese Cities
2018
Author(s): He H, Jin L, Cui H, Zhou H
This study comprehensively catalogues governmental actions that spurred the sales of electric cars in these cities and identifies the driving forces behind the success of the leading cities.
Why Cycling Matters for Electric Mobility: Towards Diverse, Active and Sustainable E-Mobilities
2018
Author(s): Behrendt F
This paper proposes the concept of e-velomobility. E-velomobility covers practices, systems and technologies of electrically-assisted cycling where velomobility’s pedal-power combines with e-mobility’s battery/motor assistance to propel the rider.
Sorption Cold Storage for Thermal Management of the Battery of a Hybrid Vehicle
2018
Author(s): Engel G
The transition towards e-mobility raises the necessity for a smart thermal management of vehicles. Waste heat becomes sparsely available and only at low temperatures. In addition, the battery requires a narrow temperature window.
The Impact of Electric Mobility Scenarios in Large Urban Areas: The Rome Case Study
2018
Author(s): Liberto C, Valenti G, Orchi S, Lelli M, Nigro M, Ferrara M
This paper assesses the improvements in energy demand and the related emissions of climate change and air pollution from the electrification of the private fleet of vehicles and the public transport fleet in the city of Rome, Italy. This paper provides a well-To-wheel analysis and considers two alternative hypotheses for the vehicles fleet renewal up to 2025.
The Continued Transition to Electric Vehicles in U.S. Cities
2018
Author(s): Slowik P, Lutsey N
This white paper assesses the U.S. electric vehicle market and the actions driving it. The paper catalogues actions in place, identifies exemplary practices, and discerns links between various electric vehicle promotion actions and electric vehicle uptake.
Power Play: How Governments Are Spurring the Electric Vehicle Industry
2018
Author(s): Lutsey N, Grant M, Wappelhorst S, Zhou H
Auto manufacturers have announced more than $150 billion in investments to achieve collective production targets of more than 13 million electric vehicles annually around 2025. This is likely be more than 10% of global light-duty vehicle sales, based on publicly announced plans.
Toward Distributed Battery Switch Based Electro-Mobility Using Publish/Subscribe System
2018
Author(s): Cao Y, Kaiwartya O, Han C, Wang K, Song H, Aslam N
This paper leverage the battery switch technology to provide an even faster charging than plug-in charging service, by cycling switchable (fully recharged) batteries at Charging Stations (CSs). Upon that, a cost-efficient Publish/Subscribe (P/S) system is provisioned, to facilitate the design of distributed charging manner for privacy guarantee
