Transportation, as one of the most growing industries, is problematic due to environmental pollution. A solution reduce burden stricter emission standards and homologation tests that correspond actual conditions vehicle use. Another widespread introduction hybrid vehicles—especially plug-in type. Due exhaust in RDE (real driving emissions) tests, it possible determine real ecological aspects th...

Electric vehicles (EVs) promise a sustainable solution to mitigating negative emission externalities of transportation systems caused by fossil-fueled conventional (CVs). While recent developments in battery technology and charging infrastructure can help evolve the niche market EVs into mass market, are yet be widely adopted public. This calls for an in-depth understanding public adoption beha...

The impacts of climate change have prompted governments to pledge introduce policies aiming limit the increasing temperature. One strategies involves reducing and, eventually, eliminating internal combustion engines in favour electric vehicles. This strategy has been implemented by many transportation services, and FREE NOW pledged be carbon neutral 2030. study analyses taxi fleet composition D...

A variable reluctance machine (VRM) has been proven to be an outstanding candidate for electric vehicle (EV) applications. This paper introduces a new double-stator, 12/14/12-pole three-phase hybrid-excited modular variable reluctance machine (MVRM) for EV applications. In order to demonstrate the superiorities of the proposed structure, the static torque characteristics and dynamic performance...

For the broad commercial success of electric vehicles (EVs), it is essential to deeply understand how batteries behave in this challenging application. This thesis has therefore been focused on studying automotive lithium-ion batteries in respect of their performance under EV operation. Particularly, the need for simple methods estimating the state-of-health (SOH) of batteries during EV operati...

Researchers have proposed that fleets of plug-in hybrid vehicles could be used to perform ancillary services for the electric grid. Inmany of these studies, the vehicles are able to accrue revenue for performing these grid stabilization services, which would offset the increased purchase cost of plug-in hybrid vehicles. To date, all such studies have assumed a vehicle command architecture that ...

This paper presents an extension of existing software architecture tools to model physical systems, their interconnections, and the interactions between physical and cyber components. A new CPS architectural style is introduced to support the principled design and evaluation of alternative architectures for cyberphysical systems (CPSs). The implementation of the CPS architectural style in AcmeS...
