The fast development of smart-grid technologies and applications calls for new means to meet the transportation and environment requirements of the next trend of mainstream vehicles. Electric vehicle (EV), which has been regarded as an important replacement for present gasoline-based vehicle, is expected to greatly reduce the carbon emissions meanwhile offer acceptable transportation ability. H...

A method is proposed to reduce range anxiety problems for electric vehicle owners using a car sharing model. Basing the model on elementary models from queueing theory, it is argued that the potential cost of such a system would be much less than the current government subsidies offered to support the deployment of electric vehicles.

Environmental protection initiatives are speeding up the replacement of present IC engine-based transportation system with an electric motor-driven system. In vehicles (EV), energy stored in batteries is used for traction vehicle and operation auxiliaries. The range was identified to be one major challenges faced by EV segment. optimization consumption best solution improvement EV. Auxiliaries ...

The efficiency of hybrid electric powertrains is heavily dependent on energy and power management strategies, which are sensitive to the dynamics powertrain components that they use. In this study, a Modified Particle Swarm Optimization (Modified PSO) methodology, incorporates novel concepts such as Vector concept Seeded concept, has been developed minimize fuel consumption NOx emissions for an...

Electric vehicles (EVs) have the advantages of low pollution, energy consumption, and high efficiency, so they are highly valued by governments, enterprises, consumers. However, promotion use electric is restricted to a certain extent because their limited range. This paper selects vehicle intercity medium- long-distance travel as research object, takes classical flow-capturing location problem...
