Copy of Sustainable Tranportation: Connected and Autonomous Vehicles

This paper studies vehicle multihop connectivity of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) on two parallel roads. (2015)

In this report the authors present an analysis of the potential for reduced vehicle ownership within households based on sharing of completely self-driving vehicles that employ a “return-to-home” mode, acting as a form of shared family or household vehicle. (2015)

Cities in the developing world are experiencing very rapid motorization. In Asian cities, the fleets of two- wheelers are growing particularly fast, with e-bikes driving a large portion of that growth, especially in China where there are over 200 million e-bikes on the roads. (2015)

One solution to the continued use of automobiles that is being seen by a number of national governments is the advent (or rather re-introduction) of electric vehicles (EVs). However, one of the key factors that will need to be explored will be the source of the required electricity for the EVs that will define the level of their sustainability. (2015)

Traditional urban planning ignores vehicle technology, including the large differences between conventional-, hybrid-, and alternative-fuel vehicles and buses. This study develops an assessment framework that has its foundations in the overarching principle of sustainability. (2013)

Electrified vehicles (EVs) couple transportation and electrical infrastructures, impacting vehicle sustainability, transportation resiliency, and electrical grid stability. This paper examines EV adoption for sustainability, resiliency, and stability effects. (2015)

To investigate the energy consumption and emissions of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) in China in 2020, the authors undertake a “Well-to-Wheel” lifecycle energy consumption and carbon emission analysis using the ‘Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions and Energy Use in Transport’ model from the U.S. Argonne National Laboratory.
