Investigation of Electric Vehicle Grid Support Capability
2014
Author(s): Napierala A, Blasius E, Nickusch M, Schönrat H-J, Reich J, Krüger D, Binnenbruck R
The scope of the e-SolCar project aimed to enhance the urban grid structures to address the future challenges in photovoltaic generation and loads from e-mobility, the fleet consisting of about 41 battery electric vehicles (BEV) has been put into operation.
A Global Macro Roadmap Outlining an Actionable Vision towards Decarbonized, Resilient Transport
2017
Author(s): SLOCAT Partnership
The New Urban Agenda and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change have set clearer long-term goals for us all to improve human well-being, and have added a new level of urgency to the development and implementation of a comprehensive transformation strategy in the transport sector.
Incumbent Actors As Niche Agents: The German Car Industry and the Taming of the 'Stuttgart E-Mobility Region'
2016
Author(s): Späth P, Rohracher H, Von Radecki A
The Stuttgart region in Southwest Germany is traditionally perceived as the home base of the (German) car industry. This paper examines the locus of agency in such a 'transition arena'.
Analysis on National Transport Sector Emission Trends 1990 - 2012
2015
Author(s): Huizenga C, Peet K, Gota S
Tracking emissions trends in the transport sector is an essential step in defining possible transport components of Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) from UNFCCC parties and helps to determine national and global mitigation targets.
Integrated Charging Infrastructure: Cognitive Interviews to Identify Preferences in Charging Options
2015
Author(s): Daubitz S, Kawgan-Kagan I
The aim of this paper is to provide insight into how people assess different charging options in the context of electric mobility and how charging can be integrated into daily activities.
Contribution of Transport Commitments to Global Goals on Sustainable Development
2015
Author(s): SLOCAT Partnership
The 2015 report analyzes the contribution that voluntary transport commitments are making to the Global Goals on Sustainable Development that will guide global action on development in the next 15 years.
Placement of Loading Stations for Electric Vehicles: No Detours Necessary!
2015
Author(s): Funke S, Nusser A, Storandt S
In this paper, the authors consider the problem of placing as few loading stations as possible so that on any shortest path there are sufficiently many not to run out of energy. The authors show how to model this problem and introduce heuristics which provide close-to-optimal solutions even in large road networks.
Emission Reduction Potential in the Transport Sector by 2030
2015
Author(s): Gota S, Huizenga C, Peet K, Kaar G
This study is to determine the magnitude of mitigation possible in the transport sector by 2030 considering low carbon policies investigated for implementation in individual countries.
Expanding Efforts on Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience in the Transport Sector
2015
Author(s): Huizenga C, Peet K, Yiu A, Wong S
Adaptation to climate change in the transport sector is necessary as transport systems worldwide are vulnerable to the increasing impacts of extreme weather and catastrophic impacts.
Early Adopters of Carsharing with and without BEVs With Respect to Gender Preferences
2015
Author(s): Kawgan-Kagan I
In this paper, to identify and to get insights about female early adopters of carsharing and e-carsharing, a sample of 492 carsharing subscribers from Berlin is analysed according to socio-demographic backgrounds, mode choice, use and evaluation of (e-) carsharing services.
