“…The battery capacity, the consumption, the possible charging power, and the range of the vehicles are defined by the conceptual vehicle design method (see Section 4.1) or determined by current market data. We compute driven distances, activity types, activity durations, and the number of vehicles which are simultaneously at the same location by analyzing the respective MATSim scenario [79]. In the second step, we calculate temporally and locally resolved charging demands and full charging cycles (FCC).…”

“…However, the theoretical demand alone is not sufficient to determine a realistic number of fast charging points. Hence, we assume that a vehicle is only charged if it stays at the activity for a certain time and we calculate the possible number of charging points for the different minimum length of stay [79].…”

“…For the complete electrification of urban private traffic, the development of an efficient charging infrastructure is one main factor. Questions on the location, the construction and the technical configuration of charging infrastructure are currently discussed by many researchers [43,45,79]. Previous research shows that taxis can be fully electrified without additional cost, including the additional acquisition/reprocurement costs of the battery and including investments in the charging infrastructure [80].…”

This paper presents a new methodology to derive and analyze strategies for a fully decarbonized urban transport system which combines conceptual vehicle design, a large-scale agent-based transport simulation, operational cost analysis, and life cycle assessment for a complete urban region. The holistic approach evaluates technical feasibility, system cost, energy demand, transportation time and sustainability-related impacts of various decarbonization strategies. In contrast to previous work, the consequences of a transformation to fully decarbonized transport system scenarios are quantified across all traffic segments, considering procurement, operation and disposal. The methodology can be applied to arbitrary regions and transport systems. Here, the metropolitan region of Berlin is chosen as a demonstration case. First results are shown for a complete conversion of all traffic segments from conventional propulsion technology to battery electric vehicles. The transition of private individual traffic is analyzed regarding technical feasibility, energy demand and environmental impact. Commercial goods, municipal traffic and public transport are analyzed with respect to system cost and environmental impacts. We can show a feasible transition path for all cases with substantially lower greenhouse gas emissions. Based on current technologies and today’s cost structures our simulation shows a moderate increase in total systems cost of 13-18%.

The transport sector in Germany causes one-quarter of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. One potential solution to reduce these emissions is the use of battery electric vehicles. Although a number of life cycle assessments have been conducted for these vehicles, the influence of a transport system-wide transition has not been addressed sufficiently. Therefore, we developed a method which combines life cycle assessment with an agent-based transport simulation and synthetic electric-, diesel- and gasoline-powered vehicle models. We use a transport simulation to obtain the number of vehicles, their lifetime mileage and road-specific consumption. Subsequently, we analyze the product systems’ vehicle production, use phase and end-of-life. The results are scaled depending on the covered distance, the vehicle weight and the consumption for the whole life cycle. The results indicate that the sole transition of drive trains is insufficient to significantly lower the greenhouse gas emissions. However, sensitivity analyses demonstrate that there is a considerable potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with higher shares of renewable energies, a different vehicle distribution and a higher lifetime mileage. The method facilitates the assessment of the ecological impacts of complete car-based transportation in urban agglomerations and is able to analyze different transport sectors.
