Electric Traction for Automobiles – Comparison of Different Wheel-hub Drives

In this paper, a comparison concerning electric traction drives for passenger cars is given. Electric traction drives presently available on the market are analyzed and future developments are described. Two main classes of such drives are presented: centre drives (like presently known from hybrid cars) and wheel-hub drives (which are still in the research and development phase). The wheel-hub ...

Promoting Electric Automobiles: Supply Chain Analysis under a Government’s Subsidy Incentive Scheme

We analyze a fuel automobile (FA) supply chain and an electric-and-fuel automobile (EA-FA) supply chain in a duopoly setting, under a government’s subsidy incentive scheme that is implemented to promote the electric automobile (EA) for the control of air pollution. Benefiting from such a scheme, each EA consumer can enjoy a subsidy from the government. We show that the incentive scheme is more ...

Digital Signatures for Automobiles?!

Identifying and tracking vehicles is of major importance for today’s logistics. The common non-electronic solutions are both easy to forge and difficult to use over distances. Combining the successful technologies of digital signatures and the Global Positioning System allows the secure identification of any car and checking its location. Both types of information can improve the fleet manageme...

Voice Recognition in Automobiles

To create a car controlled by voice of humans is a innovative concept. In this paper we use the concept of speech recognition algorithm and algorithms that will worn on for the command of the users. The switching concept is used initially, the remote is provided with the button, when that button is pressed after that the speech recognition process starts. Then after user will command for openin...
