“…An emission factor of 2.64 kg CO 2 /l was chosen for diesel and 2.33 kg CO 2 /l for petrol. For cars that operate on electric power, we assume an emission value of zero due to the assumption that these cars do not cause any emissions during their use [33,34].…”

Is the Green Wave Really Green? The Risks of Rebound Effects When Implementing “Green” Policies

Traffic and transportation are main contributors to the global CO2 emissions and resulting climate change. Especially in urban areas, traffic flow is not optimal and thus offers possibilities to reduce emissions. The concept of a Green Wave, i.e., the coordinated switching of traffic lights in order to favor a single direction and reduce congestion, is often discussed as a simple mechanism to avoid breaking and accelerating, thereby reducing fuel consumption. On the other hand, making car use more attractive might also increase emissions. In this study, we use an agent-based model to investigate the benefit of a Green Wave in order to find out whether it can outweigh the effects of increased car use. We find that although the Green Wave has the potential to reduce emissions, there is also a high risk of heaving a net increase in emissions, depending on the specifics of the traffic system.

“…One of the key elements in batteries' integration in electric vehicles is given by the battery management system. There are studies [21][22][23][24][25][26][27] that address the vehicle control unit and the battery management system, presenting new control systems, new hardware in the loop configurations, and evaluating the reliability of an EV system from the perspective of power supply.…”

Electrical Longboard for Everyday Urban Commuting

et al. 2020

This paper addresses the possibility of using an electric longboard in daily travel. A conventional longboard was transformed into an electric one and tested in ICSI Rm. Valcea labs. A series of tests were performed both at the laboratory level and, under normal running conditions, outdoors. Nevertheless, two possible scenarios have been taken into consideration. First, when the electric longboard is running on a flat road with a cruise speed, while the second scenario considered was that of climbing a hill with a 10% slope. The results confirmed the expectations and showed that a full charge of the batteries allows a trip over a distance of almost 50 km on a flat route having a consumption of about 10 Wh/km. However, there are some things to keep in mind when making travel distance predictions. The quality and the profile of the road, the weight of the rider, the rider position, all of these are factors which can significantly influence the predictions regarding the travel distance. Moreover, if the optimization is taken into account, several adjustments can be done in choosing the size and wheel model, whether or not to equip the skateboard with suspensions as well as a compromise between power and energy densities when choosing battery type is essential.
