In this paper a bimodal discrete urban road network design problem with bus and car modes is investigated. The problem consists of decision making for lane addition to the existing streets, new street constructions, converting some two-way streets to one-way streets, lane allocation for two-way streets, and the allocation of some street lanes for exclusive bus lanes. Two objectives are consider...

A series parallel hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) with a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) and a power split device have been designed using REVS (Renewable Energy Vehicle Simulator) simulation package. REVS has been developed at University of Manitoba to assist in detail studies of different configurations of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) through visual programming by creating compo...

ABSTRACT Bus communication system was established mainly using Sim Events module in the software of Matlab/Simulink. Performance indexes of bus system, which embraces worst-case response time of messages and bus load, were separately gained by theoretical calculation, experiments in Matlab and CANoe. The calculation and experiment results were compared sufficiently, and it concludes that bus sy...

This paper presents systematic analysis and design of power split-hybrid configurations using a single planetary gearset and two electric machines for human-powered vehicles. All the 12 possible power split hybrid configurations are investigated, and their performances are compared to a normal (no power assist) bicycle, and two electric bicycles. Several performance indices, including the cycli...

-In this paper, multi-objective optimal placement (MOOP) of multi-type flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) devices for Thailand power system is proposed. Four types of FACTS devices are used: thyristor-controlled series capacitor (TCSC), thyristor-controlled phase shifter (TCPS), unified power flow controller (UPFC), and static var compensator (SVC). The problem is decomposed into the opti...

Electric vehicles are in the brink of breakthrough in the automotive industry, and batteryelectric city buses are no exception. However, the costs are still high compared to conven-tional buses with internal combustion engines. A thorough electric city bus system plan-ning is an effective way to curb the high costs, where, accurate knowledge about the spe-cific energy consum...

with the development of restructured power systems and increase of prices in some hours of day and increase fuel price, demand response programs were noticed more by customers. demand response consists of a series of activities that governments or utilities design to change the amount or time of electric energy consumption, to achieve better social welfare or some times for maximizing the benef...
