Sustainable Mobility for Island Destinations

2022

Author(s): Tsoutsos T

It explores the challenges tourist islands face, such as the seasonal fluxes in transport usage, the pressures of tourism to provide aesthetic green spaces, and the space issues of being an island in relation to economic potential and infrastructure construction.

Within the transport sector, road transport represented the largest share 84.1 percent of transport related GHG emissions in China in 2014 (MEE 2020a). To meet its carbon neutrality goal, China’s road transport sector needs explicit sectoral emission reduction targets, actionable strategies, and cost-effective policy instruments. This study examines how the transport sector might be decarbonized in China.

An Optimal Cell Balancing Mechanism for Electric Vehicles

2022

Author(s): Thiruvonasundari D

The cell balancing mechanism is meant to extend battery life and safety. Cell balancing systems are broadly classified as passive and active cell balancing. An intelligent optimized ML based passive cell balancing scheme is presented in this work. To select a better balancing scheme, an enhanced passive cell balancing is implemented through model-based simulations and circuit implementations.
