The growth of electric vehicles (EVs) market is an important step towards achieving carbon-free urban mobility. The coupling with renewable energy production according to an optimised model of energy management within an urban microgrid responds to tomorrow's challenges of networks and smart cities. This study aims to define an intelligent infrastructure dedicated to the recharge of EVs (IIREVs) in an urban area as a charging station empowered by photovoltaic (PV)-based microgrid. This system can facilitate interactions between the IIREVs, the public power distribution network, the users of EVs, and the surrounding building. The study provides key elements to encourage the stakeholders to develop IIREVs within societal expectations, urban planning, and in adequacy with the sustainable development goals. In addition, the study highlights multidisciplinary research position that demonstrates the need of a systemic approach to remain centred on users demand and needs, to asses efficiency at various scales of IIREVs, associated services, and power grid. By using a multidisciplinary framework leading to a technical-economic-environmental evaluation methodology for IIREVs and presenting a study case, the main result of this study focuses on requirements and feasibility of IIREVs implantation within the best fitting urban areas.

The choice among modes of intercity transport depends on conditions of not only intercity transport modes but also intracity transport in both the departure city and the arrival city. Intracity transport conditions might be advantageous for one intercity mode and disadvantageous for others. Intercity and intracity transport conditions are complex and need to be approached systemically. This study proposes an approach based on the passengers' preferences. The logit model was adapted to evaluate the transport modes' choices in competition. This model is called the "Adapted Mixed Multinomial Logit Model" (AMML). It was applied on the Jakarta-Bandung corridor in both directions. It contributes to a complete approach for intercity transport mode choice by considering the influence of the intracity transport conditions in both the departure and arrival cities. The results proved that the choice of intercity transport mode depends not only on its own quality of service but also, importantly, on that of the intracity transport systems.
Depok City as one of the satellite cities has developed both in terms of population, social, economic and environment. The high mobility of commuter line passengers is influenced by the pattern of passenger travel using various modes of transportation such as: public transportation, private transportation online transportation, non-motorized vehicles or walking. The analysis used is the multinomial logistic regression method by observing the socio-economic characteristics of passengers and the travel characteristics of commuter line passengers. The results of the study suggest that the behavior of passengers to the station (access mode) is influenced by transport time and costs. And then, most of the commuter line passengers use online transportation as a means to get to the station. So the choice of the most used transportation modes will have an impact on the arrangement of facilities at Depok City stations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
