This paper analyses an electrification strategy for a depot for a public transport company, through an optimized model. The case study analyses both the transition of a depot able to host 10 buses towards e-buses and proposes the integration of a micro-grid, powered by PV panels to power the e-buses in a sustainable way. The study addresses key cha...

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Energy Storage Systems (ESS) for Electric Vehicles (EVs) has emerged as a pivotal solution to address the challenges of energy efficiency, battery degradation, and optimal power management. The capability of such systems to differ from theoretical modeling enhances their applicability across variou...

Climate disruptions have prompted institutions to invest in zero-emissions technologies, in recent years. As a result, the transportation sector has witnessed a shift from internal combustion engines to electric. Several public transport companies have initiated the “Zero-emissions” project to introduce alternatives to diesel in their bus service....

This paper studies and analyzes the energy transition of ferry boats used in Venice as a means of public transportation. Thus, the goal is to reduce their environmental impact by replacing the current installed thermal propulsion with an equivalent low-emission electric type. A study was conducted aimed at sizing the most suitable electric motor an...

The increasing integration of renewable energy sources (RESs) and the growing demand for sustainable power solutions have necessitated the widespread deployment of energy storage systems. Among these systems, battery energy storage systems (BESSs) have emerged as a promising technology due to their flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness....

Considering the proposed strict new constraints of public authorities, decarbonization has become a key trend in recent years. Although several countries have started the process of decarbonization through the introduction of electric vehicles in their public services, for many countries, especially developing countries, transportation is still a h...

The Electric Vehicle (EV) market has been growing exponentially in recent years, which is why the distribution network of public charging stations will be subject to expansion and upgrading. In order to improve the public charging infrastructure, this paper aims to develop a model capable of analyzing the current situation of a stretch of highway,...

In order to improve the current existing water public transport service, this paper aims to electrification of water taxis in Venice, a widely used means of transportation in the lagoon city by tourists. In particular, the section that connects San Marco square to Marco Polo airport, which is the one with the longest distance, is analyzed. Followin...

Transportation is considered as the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Recently, many European countries and the World Health organization (WHO) have passed laws to reduce road vehicles emissions, which are responsible for 60.7% of European road transport air pollution. The electrification of vehicles required various charging infrast...

Considering the new stringent constraints proposed by public authorities, decarbonization became a key trend in the last years. Transport sector still represents one of the most pollutant fragment. Even if several countries start their process of decarbonization through the introduction of several Electric Vehicles in their public services, still,...

Electric Vehicles (EVs) play an important role to reach the global ambitious climate and air quality goals. The timely implementation of adequate EV charging infrastructure is critical to the success of the ecological revolution. However, at the same time, EV adoption is the main driver for the business case of EV charging infrastructure. In order...
