The increased diffusion of Photovoltaic (PV) generation could be limited by the grid capacity to host power input from PV systems, especially in mid-day hours on sunny days. This paper proposes a framework analysis determine mitigation energy curtailment grid, based novel smart charging strategy for electric vehicles (EVs) that operate grid-to-vehicle mode. adopts combination methods and techniques, with clustering procedure group EV stations some systems electrical distance, EVs definition...

The interest in operating autonomous vehicles is growing and several demonstration sites using automated shuttles have been established all over the world. Major work involved setting up an shuttle operation that involves more than identifying relevant site, including adhering to current regulations obtaining approval, as well a considerable amount of preparation commissioning required at site. must pass national vehicle regulations, site has undergo assessment. This paper based on lessons...

In this paper we deal with container assignment optimization on an intermodal network. We propose a linear programming model, following frequency based approach, addressing both the maritime and inland component, taking into account custom times at ports service frequencies. The proposed arc-based formulation, in which only variables related to arcs actually exist are explicitly created, is particularly suitable for very large but sparse networks, typical long distance transport, because it...

This paper describes a visual tool for data analysis applied to case in public transport. Our is based on geo-referenced dynamic maps, created with free Web GIS applications, and allows users visualize interact readily large database of transport service information. will support decision-makers detecting issues inefficiency ineffectiveness related the services given area. The focuses visualization system, its features, use, detailing indicators utilized analyses it may be employed for.

The development and the diffusion of electromobility is crucial for reducing air pollution increase sustainable transport. In particular, electrification private mobility has a significantly role in energy transition within urban areas, since progressive substitution conventional passenger cars by electric vehicles (EVs) leads to decarbonisation transport sector without direct emissions. However, increasing EV penetration market forces an expansion existing charging infrastructure with...

This paper describes the methodology and analysis tool developed for a study, carried out in 2012, aimed at reorganisation of interurban public transport services Piedmont region Italy. Reorganization was necessary as result reduction funds allocated to transport. We needed work on large dataset spanning different types data, such service provision, ridership, economic geographical information. The size task warranted effort merge all those data into single database develop an purpose....

In the Piedmont region (Italy) electronic ticketing system called BIP, is currently active across much of its territory, and data collected in Province Cuneo since full activation (2014) provide today a sound source information. Two different travel documents are available, passes pay-per-use, with validation rules: check-in only for check-out pay-per-use.Data produced by this employing smart cards allow to perform detailed analysis each user's behaviour, calculate time space distributions...

The energy sector is undergoing a vast transformation. Innovations in renewable production, electric vehicles (EVs) and smart meters are pushing the towards decentralisation. In this context, determining potential of distributed ledger technology (DLT) through contracts interoperability between different sections grid an open point. Implementation blockchain as DLT into electricity distribution network with combination multiple components, assists decentralisation connection end-users...

Electric vehicles are seen as a sustainable alternative in the current fight against increasing pollution worldwide. However, they still seeing limited spread among drivers and one of challenges is to deepen knowledge about users' perceptions this innovative means transport. The paper presents work done framework by creating two Discrete Choice Experiments. first investigates aspects related car ownership characteristics performances, whereas second focuses on features charging...

The current issues of climate change and air pollution are pushing the electricity sector to move towards deployment renewable energy sources. However, shifting from traditional resources like solar introduces new aspects challenges. Weather dependency need for expensive storage infrastructure cope with power fluctuations appear among main effectively using energy. When cannot be used, in presence high diffusion it could necessary resort curtailment peak hours production. In this paper, we...

The current EU regulatory framework is forcing the need for a substantial and significant reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in all main economic sectors since climate change effects have been more tangible recent years. adoption actions measures to reduce CO2 are thus essential preventing global warming. For this reason, simplified bottom-up approach presented here estimate potential environmental benefit achievable, terms saving, when set proposed energy efficiency were adopted relevant...

Having an urban modal share that favours the most sustainable mobility forms does not exclusively depend on infrastructural assets (e.g. bicycle lanes) and mere existence of services sharing services) in a city. In recent years, decision-makers are paying more attention to some intangible aspects such as creating awareness existing public transport (PT) offers using different types nudges induce behaviour change. Therefore, this paper attempts answer following questions: To what extent how...

The new proposed law aimed at reorganizing the Italian administrative territorial institutions, called Delrio, has raised a big debate regarding correct identification of metropolitan cities and definition their boundaries. This states that basically city boundaries should correspond to provincial ones. present paper is contributing this from different point view. Mobility changing across whole Europe, however trends could be identified in areas. Understanding changes characteristics future...

ConclusionsThe main contribution stems from the development of an effective collaborative framework which allowed to overcome heterogeneity points view and foster active participants.8.
