Susatinable mobility

Course objectives

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. Basic knowledge on sustainable mobility systems is provided, both in terms of vehicle typology (land, water and aeronautical, small, medium and large size) and in terms of recharging, monitoring and fleet control infrastructures. Successful students who pass the final exam will be capable of reading and understanding texts and articles about advanced topics related to sustainable mobility. CAPABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. Students who pass the final exam will be able to analyze the critical issues of a sustainable mobility system and to conceive one in terms of technological integration. MAKING AUTONOMOUS JUDGEMENTS. Students who pass the final exam will be able to analyze the design requirements and define an effective solution that best fits the chosen case study. COMMUNICATE SKILLS. Successful students will be able to compile a technical report and to realize an appropriate presentation concerning any design, development and performance measurement activity related to the proposed solution. LEARNING SKILLS. Successful students will be able to further study by their own the topics dealt with in class, realizing the necessary continuous learning process that characterizes any task about solving, representation and simplification of complex problems related to sustainable mobility.

Course program
Part I, Introduction to Electric Drive Vehicles: The electric powertrain, subsystems that make it up: electric motor, inverter, storage system, BMS (Battery Management System), control and interface electronics, electrical safety devices. Vehicle propulsion types: pure electric, series hybrid, parallel hybrid, hydrogen, multi-engine (four-wheel drive). Vehicle types: light vehicles (electric bicycles, quadricycles), urban vehicles, four-wheel drive vehicles, public transport vehicles, vehicles for professional use (heavy transport, earthmoving, agricultural). Electric propulsion in the nautical and aeronautical fields. Part II, Infrastructures for sustainable mobility: Models and technologies for multimodal corridors (simulation of transport systems for sustainable mobility). Bi-directional charging infrastructure: Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), Vehicle-to-Home (V2H), Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), EMS (Energy Management Systems), wired and wireless charging. Telematic networks for the control, monitoring and safety of vehicle fleets. Automated mobility: ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), software platforms with use of computational intelligence, autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles, drones. Part III, Demonstration Examples of Sustainable Mobility: Study of real projects of sustainable mobility in different application scenarios: urban, suburban, professional, agricultural, tourist. Part IV, Simulations: Use of software or "hardware-in-the-loop" simulators applicable to the illustrated sustainable mobility systems, for analysis, evaluation, optimization.
