Increasing electric vehicles usage, as a promising solution for environmental issues, might have unexpected implications, since it entails some changes in different sectors and scales in energy system. In this respect, this research aims at investigating the long-term impacts of electric vehicles deployment on Iran's energy system. Accordingly, Iran's energy system was analyzed by LEAP model in...

Recent progress in the next generation of automobile technology is geared towards incorporating information technology into cars. Collectively called smart cars are bringing intelligence to cars that provides comfort, convenience and safety. A branch of smart cars is connected-car system. The key concept in connected-cars is the sharing of driving information among cars through decentralized ma...

This paper applies an extended version of the superior goods model to the UK car market. The model involves the estimation of separate equations for the demand for new cars and the rental price of used cars. We have allowed for the direct influence of quality on car demand by using a measure derived from hedonic price equations. We have employed three measures of the user cost, reflecting diffe...

Compared to the conventional methods, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are considered to be one of the reliable tools for modeling of complex phenomena such as demand. Aim of this study is to provide a model for gasoline demand in transportation section of Tehran metropolis through multilayered perceptron neural network and using the presented model in analyzing the sensitivity of the model to ...

Qualitative modelling of spatial relationships has often been considered as a context independent task in order to provide a reasoning model in generic form. Despite the significant interest in these models, there is still sufficient scope for context dependent reasoning in space and time. This paper proposes a qualitative spatial reasoning model, oriented to the modelling and simulation of sev...
