Localization of Charging Stations for Electric Vehicles Using Genetic Algorithms
2021
Author(s): Jordán J, Palanca J, del Val E, Julian V, Botti V
This work addresses the problem of optimizing the placement of new infrastructures for EV charging. The electric vehicle is gradually being introduced in cities. The impact of this introduction is less due, among other reasons, to the lack of charging infrastructure necessary to satisfy the demand.
Optimal Fleet Size for a Shared Demand-Responsive Transport System With Human-Driven vs Automated Vehicles: A Total Cost Minimization Approach
2021
Author(s): Militão AM, Tirachini A
In this research, the authors develop a total cost minimization model for demand-responsive door-to-door shared transportation services, including operator and user costs. Optimization variables are vehicle size and fleet size for operation with human-driven and automated vehicles.
Top-Down Sustainability Transitions in Action: How Do Incumbent Actors Drive Electric Mobility Diffusion in China, Japan, and California?
2021
Author(s): Trencher G, Truong N, Temocin P, Duygan M
In this paper, the authors examine strategies used by networks of incumbent state and industry actors in China, Japan and California to accelerate the production and diffusion of battery-electric or hydrogen-powered vehicles.
How to Build Successful Cities: Strengthening the Integration Between Land-Use and Mobility Planning
2021
Author(s): International Association of Public Transport (UITP)
This Policy Brief is addressed to city leaders, decision makers, urban planners, transport authorities and mobility service providers who wish to understand and improve the relations between public transport and land use in order to build an integrated and holistic approach of planning, and move towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Probabilistic Load Flow Analysis of Electric Vehicle Smart Charging in Unbalanced LV Distribution Systems With Residential Photovoltaic Generation
2021
Author(s): Ramadhani UH, Fachrizal R, Shepero M, Munkhammar J, Widén J
In this study, a probabilistic load flow analysis is performed by modelling the variability of electric vehicle mobility, household load, photovoltaic system generation, and the adoption of photovoltaic system and electric vehicle in society.
E-Mobility From a Multi-Actor Point of View: Uncertainties and Their Impacts
2021
Author(s): Ball CS, Vögele S, Grajewski M, Kuckshinrichs W
Germany has taken steps to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles, but adoption has been modest thus far. A wider range of issues and stakeholder priorities must be considered when assessing the decarbonization of the transportation sector.
Route Prioritization of Urban Public Transportation From Conventional to Electric Buses: A New Methodology and a Study of Case in an Intermediate City of Ecuador
2021
Author(s): Wenz K-P, Serrano-Guerrero X, Barragán-Escandón A, González LG, Clairand J-M
This paper proposes a new methodology to address the transition of urban public transportation from conventional buses to EBs by route prioritization. The scores of each criterion are weighted using a multi-criteria technique.
A Real-Time Dispatching Strategy for Shared Automated Electric Vehicles With Performance Guarantees
2021
Author(s): Li L, Pantelidis T, Chow JYJ, Jabari SE
Car-sharing is gaining popularity throughout the world and has emerged as a competitive technology for urban mobility. Combined with the upward trend in vehicle electrification and the promise of automation, it is expected that urban travel will change in fundamental ways in the near future.
Decision Support and Strategies for the Electrification of Commercial Fleets
2021
Author(s): Schmidt M, Staudt P, Weinhardt C
Electric vehicles have shown to be a feasible mobility option that reduces emissions and hence contributes to the transportation sector's decarbonization. Vehicle fleets are a promising starting point for increased market penetration. With this study, the authors address the issue of fleet electrification by analyzing a data set of 81 empirical mobility patterns of commercial fleets.
Review of Communication Technologies for Electric Vehicle Charging Management and Coordination
2021
Author(s): ElGhanam A, Hassan M, Osman A, Ahmed I
This paper presents a survey of existing literature on vehicular communications for EV charging coordination and management. The communication requirements and feasible communication technologies for vehicular communication are first discussed in details.
