This paper presents a method for engineering and programming multirobot systems, based on a combination of statecharts and hybrid automata, which are well-known in the fields of software engineering and artificial intelligence. This formal specification method allows graphical presentation of the whole multiagent system behavior. In addition, these specifications can be directly executed on mob...

The environmental impact of ICEVs (internal combustion engine vehicles) have led to increasing numbers EVs (electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles being developed. However, current HVAC (heating, ventilation air conditioning) systems can heavily energy consumption, reducing EV range. MVHR (mechanical with heat recovery) is an approach minimise the consumption currently used in buildings meet Pass...

Environmental Assessment of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles In the most comprehensive environmental assessment of electric transportation to date, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) are examining the greenhouse gas emissions and air quality impacts of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV). The purpose of the program is to evaluate th...

We present and discuss the results of calculations of the CaF2 bulk and surface electronic structure. These are based on the ab initio Hartree–Fock (HF) method with electron correlation corrections and on Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations with different exchange-correlation functionals, including hybrid exchange techniques. Both approaches use the localised Gaussian-type basis set. A...

The market demand for electric vehicles (EVs) has increased in recent years. Suitable models are necessary to understand and forecast EV sales. This study presents a singular spectrum analysis (SSA) as a univariate time-series model and vector autoregressive model (VAR) as a multivariate model. Empirical results suggest that SSA satisfactorily indicates the evolving trend and provides reasonabl...

Electric cars (EVs) are getting more and popular across the globe. While comparing traditional utility grid-based EV charging, photovoltaic (PV) powered charging may significantly lessen carbon footprints. However, there not enough stations, which limits global adoption of EVs. More public places adding stations as use increases. using current grid, is by fossil fuel basing generating system, t...
