The main aim of this research is to design two different new soft-switching buck-boost DC-DC converters for the applications in electric vehicles. In general, the conventional, hard switched non-isolated converters performance affected by high peak ripple inductor current.

The centralized transport system of Kolkata Metropolitan City exhibits the dependency on mass transport services. In the multimodal mass transport system of Kolkata, both road based modes viz. buses, both state owned and private, mini buses, trams; and rails viz. suburban, circular and metro act as major modes of mass transport services.

Energy is the vital force that powers our businesses, services, manufacturing, transportation, defence systems etc. Among that transportation energy presently accounts for about 50% of global oil consumption and 25% of global Green House Gas (GHG) emissions from fossil fuels.

Invention of wheel not only changed the way of transportation but also helped industrial revolution. Initially it was used by potters to make ceramics or earthen pots. Over the years it has found its utility in different ways. The mode of earlier transportation was based on animals such as donkeys, horses or oxen. The advent of wheel made transportation convenient, faster and increased its load carrying capacity. The initial human endeavor to create an automobile revolved around developing a car.

The study period is for 15 years from 2001 to 2015 Transport plays an important role in economic growth and globalization, but most types cause air pollution and land problems.

Present study tries to answer certain pertinent questions, particularly with respect to walking and cycling, which can arise while preparing a plan for promoting NMT in Indian cities. The following...

The number of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) is likely to increase in the near future and these vehicles will probably be connected to the electric grid most of the day time. This thesis proposes aggregate models of PEVs for PFC.

In the present work, the authors conceive and define the concept of sustainability in the context of urban mobility and decipher it for Indian cities, in general, and Bangalore, in particular, through performance assessment framework, indicator-based hierarchical benchmarking framework and urban mobility dynamics framework respectively.

There is an evolving paradigm shift in transportation industry towards electrified vehicles, which are more environmental friendly, reliable, safer and smarter. Electric vehicles (EVs) are seen as next generation transportation for sustainable living and low carbon mobility.
