In the present paper, a tool is proposed to optimally schedule charging requests of fleet carsharing Electric Vehicles (EVs) in an urban area, enable their participation Ancillary Service Market. The centralized scheduler minimizes imbalance EV with respect power commitment declared Day-Ahead Market, providing also tertiary reserve and balance control grid. regulation carried out by optimizing ...

In a carsharing system, a fleet of cars is distributed at stations in an urban area, customers can take and return cars at any time and station. For operating such a system in a satisfactory way, the stations have to keep a good ratio between the numbers of free places and cars in each station.

Abstract This paper reviews how teleactivities, the sharing economy, and emerging transportation technologies – components of what we could call “App City” may influence travel behavior built environment. Findings suggest that teleactivities substitute some trips but generate others. Telework teleconferencing reduce total travel. on economy accommodation increases long-distance travel; bikeshar...
