Identifying challenges for sustained adoption of alternative fuel vehicles and infrastructure
This paper develops a dynamic, behavioral model with an explicit spatial structure to explore the co-evolutionary dynamics between infrastructure supply and vehicle demand. Vehicles and fueling infrastructure are complementarities and their "chicken-egg" dynamics are fundamental to the emergence of a self-sustaining alternative fuel vehicle market, but they are not well understood. The paper ex...
متن کاملTransition challenges for alternative fuel vehicle and transportation systems
Automakers are now developing alternatives to internal combustion engines (ICE), including hydrogen fuel cells and ICE ^ electric hybrids. Adoption dynamics for alternative vehicles are complex, owing to the size and importance of the auto industry and vehicle installed base. Diffusion of alternative vehicles is both enabled and constrained by powerful positive feedbacks arising from scale and ...
متن کاملRefueling problem of alternative fuel vehicles under intuitionistic fuzzy refueling waiting times: a fuzzy approach
Using alternative fuel vehicles is one of the ways to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels which have many negative environmental effects. An alternative fuel vehicle needs special planning for its refueling operations because of some reasons, e.g. limited number of refueling stations, uncertain refueling queue times in the stations, variable alternative fuel prices among the stations, etc. I...
متن کاملHydrogen or methanol in the transportation sector?
Governmental policies and international treaties that aim at curbing the emissions of greenhouse gases and local pollutants can be expected. These regulations will increase the competitiveness of CO2-neutral energy sources, i.e., renewables, nuclear or fossil fuels with CO2-sequestration. The purpose of this paper is to assess the relative competitiveness of methanol and hydrogen as fuels in th...
متن کاملEssays on transition challenges for alternative propulsion vehicles and transportation systems
Technology transitions require the formation of a self-sustaining market through alignment of consumers’ interests, producers’ capabilities, infrastructure development, and regulations. In this research I develop a broad behavioral dynamic model of the prospective transition to alternative fuel vehicles. In Essay one I focus on the premise that automobile purchase decisions are strongly shaped ...
