We envision a multimodal transportation system where Mobility-on-Demand (MoD) service is used to serve the first mile and last of transit trips. For this purpose, current research formulates an optimization model for designing integrated MoD urban system. The proposed mixed-integer non-linear programming that captures strategic behavior passengers in network through passenger assignment model. ...

Plug-in electric vehicles could offer flexibility for wind power and an attempt was made to quantify the effect with a power system model Wilmar. Wilmar simulates unit commitment and dispatch using mixed integer programming and includes wind power and load stochasticity as well as a module for plug-in electric vehicles. Forecast errors of wind power increase the need for balancing and ancillary...

Autonomous electric mobility on demand (AEMoD) has recently emerged as a cyber-physical system aiming to bring automation, electrification, and on-demand services for the future private transportation market. The expected massive demand on such services and its resulting insufficient charging time/resources prohibit the use of centralized management and full vehicle charging. A fog-based multi-...

Uncontrolled intersections are the intersections where there are no external signs or signals to control the movement of vehicles. In mixed traffic conditions priority rules are often violated by the road users. In All-way-stop-controlled intersections (AWSC), the vehicle should stop themselves before they enter the intersection and should check whether any vehicles are present in the other app...

ABSTACT Vehicular Ad-Hoc network is a type of Mobile ad-hoc Networks, vanet help in developing communication between near vehicles and between vehicles and roadside equipment. The paper aims to investigate the performance of the routing protocol in vanet by using tcp variants that is tcp reno, tcp new reno and tcp tahoe.In the performance evaluation two different routing protocols On-Demand Dis...

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles have the potential to significantly reduce the oil dependence within the transportation sector. However, there will always be some trips that exceed the electric driving range, meaning that both electric energy and fuel must be used. For such trips the fuel economy is intimately connected with the energy management system and its ability to schedule the use of t...

Background: In large cities, the share of vehicles in air pollutants emissions is nearly 70% that is mainly due to use of fossil fuels. Environmental simulation has many advantages such as accuracy and speed of modeling. Present study was conducted to create a model of air pollution [Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)] from vehicles in fifty following years, in Mashhad. Methods: Acc...
