The “Smart Urban Mobility Management” (S.U.M.Ma) Project is designed in this direction. The pilot project, which takes place into the Municipality of Artena, aims to design and test highly innovative tools such as drones, H-D (High Definition) smart cameras, IoT (Internet of Things) Sensors on 5G network and AI (Artificial Intelligence) tools, by integrating environmental datasets, information systems and local databases and taking into account the mobility of traffic flows, the energy efficiency and the control of environmental parameters. In this paper, the general structure of the system architecture has been presented, and the traffic model of the Municipality of Artena has been developed and preliminarily calibrated, with “surrogate” flows. Furthermore, the algorithms for the post-processing of the traffic flows and real-time updating of the traffic model have been introduced. Although the project is still in the closing phase, the results obtained so far show that the proposed system is easily replicable in other Municipalities and it could be an effective tool for the increasingly green and smart management of modern communities.","PeriodicalId":432948,"journal":{"name":"2022 Second International Conference on Sustainable Mobility Applications, Renewables and Technology (SMART)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123271117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conventional battery pack connection employed a single battery pack to provide sufficient voltage and capacity requirements for the system. But, with the increasing demand for higher energy capacity within the limited space constraint and given thermal management issues of the large single battery pack, the scope for battery pack connection architecture of different battery modules connected in parallel to increase the energy capacity has been growing in the electric vehicles. However, the parallel modular connection presents problems as it is susceptible to differences within the modules. Furthermore, the arrangement of lithium-ion battery packs in parallel modular architecture dramatically increases the complexity of the controller as well as the cost of implementation. An adequately engineered parallel modular battery pack system can improve overall reliability and safety. This paper uses a voltage-controlled bidirectional controller to mitigate the problems associated with the parallel connection with minimized complexity. As claimed by the results of the simulated controlled parallel modular battery pack system in this paper, a reliable, efficient, and easily implementable system has been obtained.","PeriodicalId":432948,"journal":{"name":"2022 Second International Conference on Sustainable Mobility Applications, Renewables and Technology (SMART)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130365724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, the zero-voltage switching (ZVS) operation of the inverter and active rectifier is always desired to reduce switching losses and electromagnetic interference. However, for the WPT system with a conventional inductor-capacitor-capacitor (LCC) compensation network, the ZVS of FBAR results in the detuning of the secondary side, which increases the current stress on the secondary coil and reduces the system efficiency. This paper introduces an optimized T-compensation network (TCN) design, effectively reducing the reactive power exchange between the primary and secondary sides while ensuring ZVS. In addition, a method for estimating the instantaneous value of the FBAR input current at the switching moment based on the harmonic model is proposed to determine the ZVS state of the FBAR more accurately. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed design and the high accuracy of the analysis. Compared to the LCC system, the system with the proposed TCN can achieve higher system efficiency over almost the entire coupling factor range.","PeriodicalId":432948,"journal":{"name":"2022 Second International Conference on Sustainable Mobility Applications, Renewables and Technology (SMART)","volume":"146 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115000267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this electrification faces multiple challenges related to higher operational cost and limited charging capacity. To cope with these challenges, within the European project URBANIZED, an optimization algorithm has been developed to determine charging schedules (i.e., charging current vs time) for electric vehicle fleets. The optimization algorithm exploits the benefits of adding a Battery Storage System (BSS) to the charging infrastructure. The algorithm minimizes the economical costs associated to charging a vehicle, such as battery degradation, grid connection and BSS costs, while taking into account vehicle-related and grid-related constraints. Simulation results show that charging the vehicle fleet as late as possible is the best way to reduce the total operation costs, due to the lower battery degradation. Likewise, the usage of a BSS allows to further increase the battery lifetime at an extra-cost of investing in a BSS system.","PeriodicalId":432948,"journal":{"name":"2022 Second International Conference on Sustainable Mobility Applications, Renewables and Technology (SMART)","volume":"169 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133318592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the field of heavy-duty vehicles (HDV) for long distance transport there is also the big problem of an increasing driver shortage. Beside solving these issues, the associated elimination of the driver’s cab in fully automated trucks with SAE Level 4 or 5 also opens up fundamentally new possibilities in vehicle design for conceiving the tractor unit and semitrailer. In place of the driver’s cab, aerodynamic superstructures can be provided to improve the overall aerodynamics of the tractor unit. Alternatively, it would be possible to increase the cargo space over the tractor unit or to shorten the overall length of the semitrailer truck. However, this is currently severely restricted in Germany by existing EU regulations for heavy-duty trucks. Another measure would be to reduce the vehicle’s frontal area by lowering the trailer compartment height on empty runs. This reduces fuel consumption by up to 4.6% in the simulated day cycle reference scenario based on the FIGE cycle.","PeriodicalId":432948,"journal":{"name":"2022 Second International Conference on Sustainable Mobility Applications, Renewables and Technology (SMART)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129428010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is found that (a) PM tolerances always deteriorate the cogging torque whether the machine has static/dynamic rotor eccentricities or not; (b) when the “weak” (e.g. lower remanence) PM is close to the minimum airgap, the cogging torques due to static rotor eccentricity and worst-case PM tolerances have a significant strengthening effect, whilst the cogging torques due to dynamic rotor eccentricity and worst-case PM tolerances only have a slight strengthening effect.

In this paper a simple methodology has been introduced, to perform an analysis of the impact, in terms of polluting emissions, induced by the gradual increasing changing within the vehicular fleet of electric or low emission vehicles, instead of traditional ones (i.e., gasoline and diesel engines). The analysis has been applied to the Cassino city, an Italian medium-size town and the study has included the analyses of both public and private vehicle fleet, of the road network and the development of a microscopic traffic flow model. Six scenarios with different rates of electric vehicles instead of conventional ones in vehicular fleet have been performed.
