2021
Author(s): Cornet A, Heuss R, Tschiesner A, Hensley R, Hertzke P, Möller T, Schaufuss P, Conzade J, Schenk A, von Laufenberg K
Electrification will play an important role in the transformation of the mobility industry and presents major opportunities in all vehicle segments, although the pace and extent of change will differ. Launching new EVs in the market is an essential first step to ensure the fast, widespread adoption of electric mobility.
“I’ll Take the E‐Scooter Instead of My Car”
2021
Author(s): Gebhardt L, Wolf C, Seiffert R
Considering the controversial discussion about the sustainability and usefulness of e‐ scooters, in this study, the authors analyzed the substitution potential of e‐scooters, especially about car trips.
Assessment of Wireless Charging Impacts Based on Real-World Driving Patterns
2021
Author(s): Duarte G, Silva A, Baptista P
This paper presents an innovative approach based on real-world mobility patterns collected for a sample in the city of Lisbon, Portugal, to assess users’ electric vehicle feasibility by evaluating different recharging scenarios, comparing stationary and dynamic recharging scenarios.
Electric Bike-Sharing Services Mode Substitution for Driving, Public Transit, and Cycling
2021
Author(s): Bieliński T, Kwapisz A, Ważna A
This article investigates effects of the implementation of the electric bike-sharing system (e-bike BSS) in Tricity, Poland. The authors use the double hurdle estimation approach on data from two matched surveys: before and after the implementation of the system.
Two-Stage Stochastic Program Optimizing the Cost of Electric Vehicles in Commercial Fleets
2021
Author(s): Schücking M, Jochem P
This paper proposes a two-stage stochastic program that minimizes the total cost of ownership of a commercial electric vehicle under uncertain energy consumption and available charging times induced by mobility patterns and outside temperature.
A Sustainable Mobility Strategy Based on Electric Vehicles and Photovoltaic Panels for Shopping Centers
2021
Author(s): Calise F, Fabozzi S, Vanoli L, Vicidomini M
This work proposes a novel approach for energy and environmental issues related to the high density of vehicular traffic for shopping centers by introducing photovoltaic panels and electric vehicles into the energy system.
Moving Toward Green Mobility: Overview and Analysis of Electric Vehicle Selection, Pakistan a Case in Point
2021
Author(s): Babar AHK, Ali Y, Khan AU
Environmental concerns are on the rise worldwide, as carbon emissions are increasing rapidly, one of the leading causes of global warming. These emissions come from different sectors, but the biggest contribution comes from the transport sector.
Demand Response To Improve the Shared Electric Vehicle Planning: Managerial Insights, Sustainable Benefits
2021
Author(s): Ran C, Zhang Y, Yin Y
Massive adoption of shared electric mobility benefits people's daily commute and environment but creates overload issues into the power grid, then further causes challenges to charging service operations and power management.
Business Model Blueprints for the Shared Mobility Hub Network
2021
Author(s): Coenegrachts E, Beckers J, Vanelslander T, Verhetsel A
Shared (electric) mobility is still facing challenges in reaching its potential as a sustainable mobility solution. Low physical and digital integration with public transport, a lack of charging infrastructure, regulatory barriers, and public nuisance hinder the uptake and organization of shared mobility services.
The E-Scooter Potential To Change Urban Mobility
2021
Author(s): Glavić D, Trpković A, Milenković M, Jevremović S
Bearing in mind that the user should be the focus of the proposed measures, the aim of this paper encompasses the analysis of e-scooter users’ travel patterns, as well as standard scooter users’ willingness to switch to e-scooters for different hypothetical scenarios, and the determination of factors that influence the users’ willingness to switch.
