From Bike to Electric Bike Level-of-Service

2022

Author(s): Kazemzadeh K, Ronchi E

In this paper, the authors use bike LOS (BLOS) studies as a foundation to identify the knowledge gap for ELOS. Along with BLOS, e-bike riding comfort and the distinction between bikes and e-bikes characteristics were scrutinised.

E-Mobility in Positive Energy Districts

2022

Author(s): Castillo-Calzadilla T, Alonso-Vicario A, Borges CE, Martin C

This paper offers a comprehensive analysis of the impact of e-mobility in a PED, simulated using MATLAB-Simulink software. The PED, a small district in northern Spain, is assessed in five scenarios representing varying requirements in terms of energy efficiency of buildings, type of street lighting, and number of EVs.
