      <title>Spatio-temporal analysis of charging requirements for Victoria's electric bus fleet</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2536129</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In 2020, the Victorian Government launched a $20 million initiative to explore the feasibility of a large-scale shift to Zero-Emission Buses (ZEBs) within the state's public transport network. The project involved six Victorian bus operators trialling 50 Battery Electric Buses (BEBs) on existing routes across metropolitan- and regional areas. This valuable trial provided an opportunity to study key aspects of a successful ZEB transition, including depot infrastructure upgrades and route planning for a large-scale BEB fleet. This project aimed to leverage data collected from the ZEB trial to develop a comprehensive BEB energy consumption model. This model empowers bus operators to estimate energy usage across various routes under different conditions (weather, traffic). This information allows for optimised planning of charging schedules, strategic placement of off-depot charging stations, and informed decisions regarding battery size requirements for future BEBs.]]></description>

      <title>Leading the charge in bidirectional charging: being a V2G trailblazer: lessons for mass market adoption</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2536128</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In Australia, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology is emerging as a game-changer in the transition to a more sustainable and resilient energy system. V2G allows electric vehicles (EVs) to draw power from the grid and return stored energy back, supporting household energy needs and reducing strain during peak demand. Despite its potential, the current journey to adopting V2G is difficult, with early adopters facing significant hurdles. There are a lack of compatible vehicles and bidirectional chargers, and complex regulatory and installation processes. Some of these barriers are being addressed by new standards, but others will take time and effort by government and industry to resolve.]]></description>

      <title>What is needed for an effective and efficient public light-vehicle charging network?</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2536116</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This project set out to provide information that could aid in the establishment of a comprehensive public electric vehicle (EV) charging network in New Zealand. This report provides a collation of work that could assist to support effective and efficient charging services for light EVs in New Zealand. A key part of our approach has been to examine the context for EV charging services and their supporting infrastructure as this provides a foundation for understanding who might need what information and for what purpose. To explore this context, we developed a framework of EV charging infrastructure with four components – an economic framework, service types, supply chain components and market functions. This framework was complemented by case studies that looked at the deveopment process of EV charging infrastructure overseas and a few that drew on other infrastructure development projects in New Zealand. Using the context provided from the framework and case studies, we identified information requirements from a top-down perspective. An inventory of New Zealand data was used to help identify currently available information in New Zealand. The list of requirements was then compared to the currently available information, which led to a list of information gaps. We then prioritised the information gaps from the standpoint of government and consumer interest in a well-functioning market for EV charging services. The top five priority gaps identified were basic network information, dynamic network information, consumer research, consumer-facing information and improved electricity network cost information.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[An annual assessment of Australian federal, state and territory government performance regarding electric vehicle (EV) policy and updates on sales, model availability and charging infrastructure. This report analyses the progress made across various aspects of the EV market, from government policy to consumer uptake. This report highlights the successful passage of the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard as a significant milestone, but also identifies challenges such as the premature cessation of EV purchase incentives in some states, the spread of misinformation about EVs and the need for more robust and accessible charging infrastructure. The report advocates for a holistic approach to transportation decarbonisation, highlighting the need for collaboration between all levels of government, industry stakeholders and the public.]]></description>

      <title>Advancing sustainable mobility in Greece: promoting the uptake of electric vehicles</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2452445</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This project supports Greece in developing a sustainable transport sector and cleaner mobility. Specifically, it aims to accelerate the uptake of electric vehicles and the adoption of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) by regional and municipal authorities. This report presents results and recommendations related to the promotion of electromobility. By 2030, at least 30 million zero-emission cars will be operating on European roads. This project aims to help Greece attain this objective, as set out in the European Commission’s Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy. Greece’s car fleet is among the oldest in Europe, with an average vehicle age of 16 years. The uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) in Greece remains very low: in 2020, EVs accounted for only 2.6% of new car sales, compared with the European Union (EU) average of 10.5%. The project reviews best practices in the EU, using ITF quantitative modelling to develop policy recommendations for accelerating EV adoption in Greece, including the expansion of charging infrastructure.]]></description>

      <title>Automated and electrified ride-hailing fleet: opportunities and management optimisation</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2438008</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This thesis explores key aspects and problems of technological innovations in the context of ride-hailing systems, shedding light on their profound implications for the industry. Chapter 2 introduces a centralised matching approach that integrates the EV charge scheduling problem into the optimisation framework of ride-hailing systems. The objective represents three-fold benefits: direct financial gains, service quality and system efficiency, and fleet profitability. Moreover, the chapter addresses the practical scenario where human drivers may reject charging assignments lacking personal incentives, leading to a driver compliance behavioural model and a corresponding incentivisation scheme. Chapter 3 introduces a macroscopic model underpinning demand-supply dynamics within mixed-fleet ride-hailing markets. Employing a model predictive control (MPC) framework, it optimises control variables to maximise operators' profits through dynamic trip fares for AVs and HVs, and the active AV fleet size. The study accounts for human driver work patterns and different exit behaviours. Leveraging historical data and real-time inputs, a comprehensive simulation testbed substantiates the efficacy of the proposed strategy in maximising operator profits while mitigating trip cancellations. Chapter 4 introduces a decentralised cooperative cruising approach for a-taxi fleet as an essential contingency plan during complete communication breakdowns. It quantifies road centralities using PageRank, serving as a measure for long-term passenger encounter likelihoods. This metric informs both cruising route planning and network partitioning for effective destination selection. Comparative analyses against benchmark strategies reveal significant enhancements in service performance across various fleet sizes. The research contributes comprehensive methodologies and insights, paving the way for more efficient, sustainable, and adaptable transportation systems.]]></description>
