The DARP (Dial-a-Ride Problem) is concerned with providing service to a number of requests, specifying their location of origin and destination, as well as time windows indicating their desired service time for at least one of the locations. In the dynamic ...
Electric mobility is now a reality, and services based on electric vehicles, such as electric car-sharing and electric buses, are becoming part of urban mobility. These new modes bring new challenges for the design and operations of the systems that requir ...
Complete electric and magnetic field solutions of an overhead conductor above a lossy earth are derived in this letter, and “mode transition” from a low-frequency quasi-transverse electromagnetic (TEM) to a high-frequency transverse Magnetic (TM) mode has ...
The vehicle sharing systems (VSSs) are becoming more popular due to both financial and environmental effects. On the other hand, they face many challenges, such as inventory management of the vehicles and parking spots, vehicle imbalance, pricing strategie ...

Polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers (OME) containing 3-5 CH2O units (OME3-5) are appealing oxygenated fuels, which can be used in diesel engines with only slight fuel system modifications. Their combustion leads to reduced hazardous exhaust gas emissions comp ...
The transport sector is the second largest emitter of GHG emissions in the EU and about two thirds of the emissions are generated from road transport. More importantly, while emissions from other sectors have shown a consistent decreasing trend, GHG emissi ...
In this paper, we investigate the stability of an islanded AC microgrid (ImG) composed of Distributed generation units (DGUs), dynamic power lines, and loads. Each DGU is equipped with a local controller to ensure desired voltage and frequency in the ImG. ...
Electric buses are particularly suitable for city and suburban routes due to zero local exhaust and noise emissions. The operation schedule interval defines the charging power, bus fleet size and total cost of ownership of a bus. We propose a novel cost-be ...
The dynamic electric autonomous dial-a-ride problem (e-ADARP) is an extended version of the traditional dial-a-ride problem (DARP). It consists in a ride-sharing service executed by a fleet of electric and autonomous shuttles where the requests appear onli ...
