In this paper, a battery pack and a supercapacitor bank hybrid energy storage system (HESS) with a new control configuration is proposed for electric vehicles (EVs). A bidirectional quasi-Z-source inverter (Bq-ZSI) and a bidirectional DC-DC converter...

Requests for emission reduction in the freight transport sector will be more intense in the coming years. One possible strategy to reduce emissions from freight transport is through utilising zero emission vehicles, which requires substantial investm...

With the development of the global economy, the automobile industry is also developing constantly. In recent years, due to the shortage of environmental energy and other problems, seeking clean energy as the power source of vehicles to replace tradit...

The current commercial intelligent driving systems still take the optimal strategy judged by the machine to be the only goal. Therefore, in order to improve the driving experience of the intelligent driving following scene, based on the assumption th...

The resistance of the internal short-circuit (ISC) has a potential evolution trend accompanied by an increasing safety risk. Thus, an accurate online resistance estimation for the ISC is crucial for evaluating its safety risk and taking staged handli...

In the context of smart cities, direct current overhead contact lines, usually adopted to power urban transportation systems such as trolleybuses, tramways, metros, and railways, can serve as a backbone to connect different modern emerging technologi...

Besides the integration of renewable energies, electric vehicles pose an additional challenge to modern power grids. However, electric vehicles can also be a flexibility source and contribute to the power system stability. Today, the power system sti...

With an influx of public and private sector investment in the electric vehicle (EV) domain, public agencies and stakeholders need objective, equitable and systematic processes for identifying candidate sites for siting charging stations. This paper r...

The electrification of the transport sector is of crucial importance for a successful transition to a fossil-free society. However, the electricity grid constitutes a bottleneck. This article provides a case study based on a real-world parking garage...

In special locations (scenes) such as campuses and closed parks, small unmanned vehicles have gained more attention and application. Autonomous navigation is one of the key technologies of low-speed small unmanned vehicles. It has become a research h...

Electric vehicles, particularly those in mass transit systems, make use of accurate power estimations for different routes to calculate powertrain and battery requirements and plan the location and times of charging stations. Hence, chassis dynamomet...

Amid growing concerns about climate change, electricity-powered transportation systems stand out as an opportunity to help in reducing fuel consumption. Electric vehicles (EVs) would connect to the grid using clean, renewable electricity; however, th...

Heavy-duty trucks account for 27% of the European greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector. To decarbonize road freight transport, the European Union plans to build a fast charging network for trucks. This paper presents two scenarios, coveri...

Cutting greenhouse gas emissions to comply with the Paris Agreement is challenging for road freight. While heavy-duty battery-electric trucks (BET) promise tremendous and immediate reduction potential, literature increasingly confirms technical feasi...

In order to solve the difficulty for intelligent vehicles in detecting near-field targets, this paper proposes a near-field object detection method based on multi-sensor information fusion. Firstly, the F-CenterFusion method is proposed to fuse the i...

Battery state of charge (SOC), state of health (SOH), and state of power (SOP) are decisive factors that influence the energy-management system (EMS) performance of electric vehicles. However, the accurate estimation of SOC, SOH, and SOP remains a ch...
