Electric Torque Vectoring for Electric Vehicles

The project E-Vectoorc (Electric Vehicle Control of Individual Wheel Torque for Onand Off-Road Conditions) targets the development of an integrated controller for vehicle dynamics and energy efficiency for fully electric vehicles with one to four electric motors. The project is funded within the 7th European Union Framework Programme and unites two OEMs (Jaguar Land Rover, Skoda Auto), one supp...

Battery Technology for Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: Expert Views about Prospects for Advancement

In this paper we present the results of an expert elicitation on the prospects for advances in battery technology for electric and hybrid vehicles. We find disagreement among the experts on a wide range of topics, including the need for government funding, the probability of getting batteries with lithium metal anodes to work, and the probability of building safe Lithium-ion batteries. Averagin...

Prospects for Networked Vehicles of the Future∗

Applications of vehicular networking are set to explode much in the way that Internet technology emerged in the early 1990s. The convergence of in-car navigation systems, highbandwidth wireless communications, protocols for highly-mobile ad hoc networks, and the inherent ability to instrument vehicles with sensing and control devices leads to many potential personal and community-based services...

Scheduling electric vehicles

The Vehicle Scheduling Problem (VSP) is a traditional problem in public transport. One of the main assumptions is that buses can be operated the whole day without any interruption for refueling etc. Recently, new technological innovations have led to the introduction of electric vehicles. For these new vehicles, we cannot ignore the need of refueling during the day, as the range of an electric ...
