Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) represent a huge step forward in a green transportation system, contribute in reduction of greenhouse gas emission, and reduce the dependence on fossil fuel. Integration of PEVs into the electric power system will result in a considerable addition to electricity demand. Due to PEV mobility, this demand has a random distribution in space and time among distributi...

Traffic congestion is one of the most serious problems that impact urban transportation efficiency, especially in big cities. Identifying traffic congestion locations and occurring patterns is a prerequisite for urban transportation managers in order to take proper countermeasures for mitigating traffic congestion. In this study, the historical GPS sensing data of about 12,000 taxi floating car...

For the past few years, phenomena such as traffic congestion and traffic accidents in big cities have occurred one after another, greatly and adversely affecting the people’s lives. Intelligent transportation system is perceived as an optimum solution to solve this question. This paper delves into several common route guidance algorithms, analyzes respective characteristics, improves and parall...

using a hierarchical hybrid fuzzy model, this paper presents an intelligent system to manage the traffic of ambulances and the vehicles for transporting blood and blood products and generally the transportation related to health emergencies. the transportation of emergency patients, emergency accidents and health-related emergencies, and the transportation of blood and blood products should be ...

Safety risk study on road transportation of hazardous chemicals is a reliable basis for the government to formulate transportation planning and preparing emergent schemes, but also is an important reference for safety risk managers to carry out dangerous chemicals safety risk managers. Based on the analysis of the transport safety risk of dangerous chemicals at home and abroad, this paper studi...

Transportation electrification is a pivotal factor in accelerating the transition to sustainable energy. Electric vehicles (EVs) can operate either as loads or distributed power resources vehicle-to-grid (V2G) vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) linkage. This paper reviews status quo and implications of transportation regard environmental benefits, consumer side impacts, battery technologies, sustainabili...

 Abstract: The shipments of hazardous materials (HAZMATs) induce various risks to the road network. Today, one of the major considerations of transportation system managers is HAZMATs shipments, due to the increasing demand of these goods (because it is more used in industry, agriculture, medicine, etc.), and the rising number of incidents that are associated to hazardous materials. This paper ...
