This paper investigates electric vehicle benefits and costs. Similar analysis could be applied to other alternative fuels. This study evaluates various types of electric vehicles. “Conventional performance” electric cars are intended to substitute for petroleum powered vehicles. However, for the foreseeable future they will fail to do this; electric vehicles offer significantly less performance...

The use of a modified remote control (RC) model car as a vehicle dynamics testing and development platform is detailed. Vehicle dynamics testing is an important aspect of automotive engineering and it plays a key role during the design and tuning of active safety control systems. Considering the fact that such tests are conducted at great expense, scaled model cars can potentially be used to he...
