Preparing For Battery Electric Buses Transit : Modeling Tools & Implementing Decision Making Support
Electric bus adoption is increasing, highlighting a trend towards integrating them into public transportation systems, with China leading globally and several European nations making substantial progress. Selecting the best type of charging strategy, among a variety of options such as overnight (slow) charging and opportunity (fast) charging methods, is a crucial step in electrifying bus networks.
In this presentation, we look at two related research directions. First, we present novel mathematical optimization models and solution algorithms for the optimal planning of urban bus systems with electric and mixed-sized vehicles, including applications using a detailed energy consumption mode...

The Dilemma of Transport Planning and a Possible Alternative Urban Vision - Kay Axhausen
Просмотров 362Месяц назад
What is next when business as usual (BAU) doesn’t work anymore? The talk will reflect about the absence of a positive vision in transport policy, which can achieve the climate goals. Central is the idea of an “e-bikecity” and its possible contribution. The talk will also raise the question, if we need clear numerical targets to manage the current constraints.

Sustainable Batteries for Mobile Applications - Mircea Dinca
Просмотров 992 месяца назад
Eliminating the use of critical transition metals in Li-ion battery cathodes is a key challenge for electrifying the transportation sector, especially in consumer vehicles. Vast resources are expended for replacing cobalt or minimizing the nickel content in commercial batteries, yet all rely on controlled doping of other elements (e.g. Mo, Mg, Ti, Mn, Nb) into ternary oxides to balance energy, ...

Vehicle Performance Trends and their Safety Implications
Просмотров 2423 месяца назад
After many decades of healthy decline, deaths in the US due to motor vehicle crashes started rising again around 2015. This increase is both in absolute numbers and deaths per million miles. Many factors are being blamed for the increases in fatalities - drivers distracted by their phones, heavier cars, higher car hood heights, distracted pedestrians, more active modes of mobility mixing with c...

As a conventional approach to uncover the relationships between variables, data modeling usually requires a priori assumption. However, if the assumption does not hold true, data modeling may yield questionable findings and theories. This presentation highlights the usefulness of machine learning approaches in improving our understanding of the relationships between variables. Using examples in...

Earning public trust in highly automated vehicles, and greater understanding of how they operate, is paramount as automakers and their suppliers push to put cars and trucks on the road that can safely operate without a driver. While complex automated vehicle safety testing programs are being implemented across industry, they are generally proprietary, and their structure remains hidden from pub...
Public Transit is an Investment not a Cost: Perspectives from UITP - Mohamed Mezghani
Просмотров 1974 месяца назад
Our cities have been suffering from the negative impact of the intense use of cars for many years. The consequences of car traffic are dramatic in terms of road safety, social exclusion, air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, health, and so on. It’s time to end the century of car domination and put people back at the heart of the city and its mobility system. This is possible by making cit...

    Thank you for the presentation. My name is Ilho Jeong, and I am conducting research in transportation planning. Here is my question: What are the main challenges in transforming car-centric urban infrastructure into e-bike-friendly spaces, and how can examples like Japan's Woven City inform this transformation, especially in different climate conditions? Additionally, what challenges might arise in cities like Woven City that focus on autonomous and electric mobility?

    How can it be that deaths per 1M VMT jumped from 1.1 to 1.4 in 2 years & Americans barely noticed? I believe we really, really, really need automated speed enforcement. (Police are not policing roadways much anymore [due to limited (wo)manpower & dangerous interaction reasons], & Americans are getting away with manslaughter waaayyy too easily.) Warnings can be sent to vehicle owners (based on license-plate recognition) & small fines start adding up. Lots of evidence can be obtained & then used when someone makes a lot of bad driving decisions or a big mistake, and licenses quickly revoked.

    Scarcity mindset: Fear of losing something, afraid of not having enough, anxiety about lacking security, and greed for more. It always strives for a win-lose outcome, where one's gain is someone else's loss. Obama's Pivot to Asia: "If over a billion Chinese citizens have the same living patterns as Australians and Americans do right now, then all of us are in for a very miserable time. The planet just can't sustain it". Abundance mindset: Constant pursuit of a win-win outcome and a willingness to share.

      Well said, brother. This is another manifestation of racial discrimination by American politicians. Only people in the Five Eyes Alliance can live a prosperous life, but not other countries. In other words, the United States allows only some of its allies to be rich, while the rest of the world must remain poor.

    Lol Benjamin’s comments about Chinese government are a shocking contrast to those of the two Americans guests. I was shocked to find out that Benjamin was the grudging one. Then he mentioned his experience with Didi and I understand why he said what he said. He is a lawyer and a capital allocator. And Christina is a scientific researcher and an entrepreneur. All in all, a very unbiased host with a lot of very insightful discussions. Thank you.

    In this green industrial revolution, labor shortages will be a much bigger problem for the foreseeable future than job losses to automation. Sure, some low-level coders and lawyers will be wiped out by AI. But they can retrain in lucrative jobs in the clean manufacturing boom-assuming they can swallow their white-collar pride.
