Author(s): K Krzysztof, M Sylwester, S Grzegorz (Eds.)
This book addresses various aspects of electric mobility deployment in public transport. These include transport policy-related issues as well as technical, organizational and technical dimensions of the fleet conversion process.
The Environmental Impact of Electric Vehicles: A Novel Life Cycle-Based Evaluation Framework and Its Applications to Multi-Country Scenarios
2021
Author(s): Franzò S, Nasca A
This paper aims to develop a comprehensive evaluation framework in order to estimate the environmental impact associated to Electric Vehicles and Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles, by adopting a Life Cycle Assessment approach.
Electric Vehicle Deployment Fundamentals for Southeast Asia: Module 4, Unit 3 — The Social and Institutional Dimensions of Urban Electrification
2021
Author(s): National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)
The Module 4, Unit 3 — The Social and Institutional Dimensions of Urban Electrification covers perspectives on urban electrification and considerations at the intersection of e-mobility, energy, equity, and urban planning. This lecture is presented by Mr Paty Romero-Lankao of NREL.
Optimal Location of EV Charging Stations in a Neighborhood Considering a Multi-Objective Approach
2021
Author(s): Bitencourt L, Abud TP, Dias BH, Borba BSMC, Maciel RS, Quirós-Tortós J
This study has proposed a methodology to optimally locate charging stations (CSs) through a multi-objective approach, by minimizing the electrical losses and the charging zone center deviation. It applies a hierarchical clustering method to define CS service zones, considering both technical and mobility aspects.
A Simulative Framework for a Multi-Regional Assessment of Local Energy Markets – A Case of Large-Scale Electric Vehicle Deployment in Germany
2021
Author(s): Cramer W, Schumann K, Andres M, Vertgewall C, Monti A, Schreck S, Metzger M, Jessenberger S, Klaus J, Brunner C, Heringer F, Alvarado A, Armstorfer A, Beg N
This study focuses on local energy markets as an increasingly discussed approach for coordinating distributed energy systems and introduces a simulative framework for enabling a multi-regional assessment of this concept.
Shared Use of Electric Autonomous Vehicles: Air Quality and Health Impacts of Future Mobility in the United States
2021
Author(s): Pan S, Fulton LM, Roy A, Jung J, Choi Y, Gao HO
Vehicle electrification, automation, and shared mobility – also referred to as the transportation three revolutions (3Rs) – are the emerging trends in future mobility. This study performed a comprehensive integrated analysis to investigate the potential future development of passenger transportation in the United States.
Optimal Fleet Deployment for Electric Vehicle Sharing Systems With the Consideration of Demand Uncertainty
2021
Author(s): Lu C-C, Yan S, Li H-C, Diabat A, Wang H-T
This study addresses the optimal allocation of a fleet of plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) to the stations of an EV-sharing system. The objective is to maximize the profit of the system operator. A multi-layer time–space network flow technique is adopted to describe the movement of EVs in the system.
Going Electric: A Pathway to Zero-Emission Buses
2021
Author(s): International Association of Public Transport (UITP)
This joint publication of EBRD, UITP and GIZ is intended to facilitate policymaking and the development of electric bus schemes, and to assist project finance. It summarises emerging good practice across a range of important topics and geographies.
Heterogeneous Fleet Recyclables Collection Routing Optimization in a Two-Echelon Collaborative Reverse Logistics Network From Circular Economic and Environmental Perspective
2021
Author(s): Cao S, Liao W, Huang Y
The recycle and reuse of recyclable wastes is an important way of a good social and economic cycle, and plays a decisive role in resource conservation and environmental protection. The idea of reverse logistics based on the principle of 'sustainable development and circular economy' has increasingly gained attention as the issue of resource wastage and environmental degradation has become more serious.
A Global Comparison of the Life-Cycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Combustion Engine and Electric Passenger Cars
2021
Author(s): Bieker G
This study is a life-cycle assessment (LCA) of the GHG emissions of passenger cars in China, Europe, India, and the United States, four markets that are home to the majority of global new passenger car sales and reflect much of the variety in the global vehicle market.
