Migrating towards Using Electric Vehicles in Campus-Proposed Methods for Fleet Optimization

Investigating on Different Methods of Energy Management System in Hybrid Electric Vehicles and Presenting Proposed Solutions for its Optimization

Air pollution, saving fuel and spreading greenhouse gases are the most issues that have led to increase utilizing hybrid-electric vehicles. Energy management performances and its effectiveness is considered in these vehicles in terms of accuracy and efficiency. The aim of this paper is to investigate the suggested optimization designs for energy management system and proposed solutions are pres...

Routing a mixed fleet of electric and conventional vehicles

In this paper, we propose the Electric Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows and Mixed Fleet (E-VRPTWMF) to optimize the routing of a mixed fleet of electric commercial vehicles (ECVs) and conventional internal combustion commercial vehicles (ICCVs). Contrary to existing routing models for ECVs, which assume energy consumption to be a linear function of traveled distance, we utilize a reali...

Fleet Renewal with Electric Vehicles at La Poste

A Maintenance-optimal Swapping Policy - For a Fleet of Electric or Hybrid-electric Vehicles

Motivated by high oil prices, several large fleet companies initiated future plans to hybridize their fleets to establish immunity for their optimized business models against severe oil price fluctuations, and adhere to increasing awareness of environmentally-friendly solutions. The hybridization projects increased maintenance costs especially for highly costly and degradable components such as...

Fleet management for autonomous vehicles

The VIPAFLEET project consists in developing models and algorithms for managing a fleet of Individual Public Autonomous Vehicles (VIPA). Hereby, we consider a fleet of cars distributed at specified stations in an industrial area to supply internal transportation, where the cars can be used in different modes of circulation (tram mode, elevator mode, taxi mode). One goal is to develop and implem...
