Automated Vehicles (AVs) have the potential to improve transportation safety, increase system capacity, enhance mobility, and solve the first- and last- mile problem associated with public transportation. This project has three inter-related objectives: (1) to evaluate the technical feasibility, safety and reliability of a low-speed, self-driving shuttle known as Olli; (2) to research the public policy changes needed to allow for AVs to be tested and driven on New York State public roads; and (3) to conduct an evaluation of the costs and benefits of using AV technology on a realistic case study involving the Buffalo-Niagara Medical Campus (BNMC) in downtown Buffalo. The study tested Olli on the University at Buffalo (UB) Proving Grounds for Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs), using a set of twelve testing scenarios. Riders of Olli were surveyed and the results from these surveys, along with the results from other surveys conducted in the Buffalo-Niagara region, were analyzed to determine the factors that contribute to public acceptance of AV technologies in an effort to address them. The study also developed a new set of four principles,which we called the "Buffalo Principles," to facilitate taking the legal and regulatory action required for the sustainable testing and deployment of AVs. Finally, the project conducted a simulation study and a business case analysis of a scenario involving developing a small fleet of the self-driving shuttle Olli to serve the first- and last- mile segments of trips undertaken by a subset of BNMC employees.

This book elaborates the science and engineering basis for energy-efficient driving in conventional and autonomous cars. After covering the physics of energy-efficient motion in conventional, hybrid, and electric powertrains, the book chiefly focuses on the energy-saving potential of connected and automated vehicles. It reveals how being connected to other vehicles and the infrastructure enables the anticipation of upcoming driving-relevant factors, e.g. hills, curves, slow traffic, state of traffic signals, and movements of nearby vehicles. In turn, automation allows vehicles to adjust their motion more precisely in anticipation of upcoming events, and to save energy. Lastly, the energy-efficient motion of connected and automated vehicles could have a harmonizing effect on mixed traffic, leading to additional energy savings for neighboring vehicles. Building on classical methods of powertrain modeling, optimization, and optimal control, the book further develops the theory of energy-efficient driving. In addition, it presents numerous theoretical and applied case studies that highlight the real-world implications of the theory developed. The book is chiefly intended for undergraduate and graduate engineering students and industry practitioners with a background in mechanical, electrical, or automotive engineering, computer science or robotics.

This book introduces the application of nonlinear dynamics theory for driving system of electric vehicle and hybrid electric vehicle respectively. It establishes the dynamic models for driving system of electric vehicle and hybrid electric vehicle under various working conditions. And the nonlinear dynamics theory is applied to the qualitative analysis and quantitative calculation for the models. The theoretical analysis results are applied to guide the optimization of control strategies. In the end of each chapter, corresponding simulations or experiments are provided to verify the corresponding instances which are carefully selected. This book will give some guidance to readers when they deal with nonlinear dynamics problems of vehicles in the future and provide theoretical bases for the further study of the nonlinear dynamics for driving system of electric vehicle and hybrid electric vehicle. The book is written for engineer of electric vehicle and hybrid vehicle, teachers and students majoring in automobile and automation.

The transport sector continues to shift towards alternative powertrains, particularly with the UK Government’s announcement to end the sale of petrol and diesel passenger cars by 2030 and increasing support for alternatives. Despite this announcement, the internal combustion continues to play a significant role both in the passenger car market through the use of hybrids and sustainable low carbon fuels, as well as a key role in other sectors such as heavy-duty vehicles and off-highway applications across the globe. Building on the industry-leading IC Engines conference, the 2021 Powertrain Systems for Net-Zero Transport conference (7-8 December 2021, London, UK) focussed on the internal combustion engine’s role in Net-Zero transport as well as covered developments in the wide range of propulsion systems available (electric, fuel cell, sustainable fuels etc) and their associated powertrains. To achieve the net-zero transport across the globe, the life-cycle analysis of future powertrain and energy was also discussed. Powertrain Systems for Net-Zero Transport provided a forum for engine, fuels, e-machine, fuel cell and powertrain experts to look closely at developments in powertrain technology required, to meet the demands of the net-zero future and global competition in all sectors of the road transportation, off-highway and stationary power industries.
