This paper proposes a methodology for practical siting and sizing of Hybrid energy systems (HESs) consist of: wind turbine (WT), photovoltaic (PV) and combined heat and power (CHP) units. In this method, the interaction of Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PIEVs) in the electric distribution system is considered. Electric Vehicle are seen to have some negative impacts on electric distribution system p...

the inventory routing problem (irp) arises in the context of vendor-managed systems. this problem addresses jointly solving an inventory management problem and a vehicle routing problem. in this paper, we consider a multi-depot multi-vehicle inventory routing problem in which suppliers produce one type of product to be delivered to customers during a finite time horizon. we propose a two-phase ...

Ubiquitous computing is a hotspot research field at present. The research aboutsmart in-vehicle space is a main domain in ubiquitous computing. As cars play increasinglyimportant role in people’s daily life, smart in-vehicle space has become an essential researchfield in Smart Space. The intelligence of cars is achieved by the cooperation of in-vehicleelectronic systems, which c...

We propose a dissemination system using multiple roadside units (RSUs) on a two-way roadway. To enhance the performance of data services, data items are disseminated through a hybrid of infrastructure-to-vehicle (I2V) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications. Unserved requests in RSU’s coverage are transferred to the next RSU located in a vehicle’s trajectory. In this way, channels are utili...

in this paper, the development and optimization of power distribution control strategy (pdcs) have been performed for a hybrid energy storage systems (hess) of a series hybrid electric bus (sheb). a common pdcs is based on the use of ultra-capacitor (uc) pack. a new simple pdcs is developed as a battery based one. for the battery based pdcs, four parameters are introduced for tuning the pdcs pe...

Vehicle power management has been an active research area in the past decade, and has intensified recently by the emergence of hybrid electric vehicle technologies. Research has shown that driving style and environment have strong influence over fuel consumption and emissions. In order to incorporate this type of knowledge into vehicle power management, an intelligent system has to be developed...

We propose a hybrid ITS safety architecture that combines vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-to-roadside sensor communication. Opposed to dedicated roadside units, which require major investments for purchase, installation and maintenance, roadside wireless sensor and networking technology represents a cost-effective solution and can leverage the deployment of the system as a whole. A...
