With the development of electric vehicles, research on the cooperation of transportation networks (TNs) and power distribution networks (PDNs) has become important. Because of practicability, most cooperation research focuses on user equilibrium assignment based on the Wardrop I principle. There is less research focusing on network cooperation involving the system optimal assignment based on Wardrop II. This research paper constructs a cooperation between dynamic system optimal (DSO) and dynamic optimal power flow (DOPF) assignments with multi-objective optimization. Based on Wardrop II, this DSO model realizes multiple origin–destination pairs, multiple tasks, and multiple vehicle types. Electric vehicle and fast charging station models are designed as the connection between both networks. The optimal result gives three scenarios: TN prior, PDN prior, and a compromise of both. DSO minimized the total travel cost and DOPF minimized the total cost of power generation. Several path choices resulted from the scenarios. Whichever scenario is chosen, an electric vehicle is assigned dispersedly for a certain time period to reduce power loss. The optimal solution is also affected by the charging power in fast charging stations. This research can be applied to logistics transportation under traffic restrictions. It offers a dynamic optimization model for transportation and power operators. Full article

The integration of automation and shared mobility services would significantly affect transportation demand, especially mode choice. However, little is known about how attitudes, travel attributes, and demographic factors affect the modal shift to shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs). A stated preference survey was designed to determine the preferences of car and transit users in relation to a modal shift to SAVs. The binary logit models’ results revealed distinct behavior patterns and systematic heterogeneity among transit and private car users based on a representative sample of 607 individuals in 2021. The shifting behavior of both users is positively affected by attitudinal factors, including consumer innovativeness, perceived usefulness, sharing intention, and ecological awareness, while negatively affected by privacy concerns. In terms of travel-related attributes of SAVs, car users are eight times more sensitive to waiting times compared to transit users, who are three times more concerned with travel costs. Further, privacy concerns, the number of passengers sharing a trip, and the ratio of waiting time to travel time of SAVs were the major barriers to shifting the likelihood of car users’ behavior. In light of these findings, based on the likely effects of SAVs on shifting behavior, a number of practical implications are suggested for more effective policy making. Full article

Electricity from renewable energy sources represents the most promising way to decarbonize energy systems. A grid connection of car Electricity Storage Systems (ESSs) represents an opportunity to tackle issues regarding electricity production non-programmability, only if sufficiently smart bi-directional Vehicle to Grid technologies (V2G) are widely implemented. Fully Bi-directional grid capabilities are still poor and must be increased, both physically and in terms of management and billing possibilities (in the so-called smart-grid paradigm). However, some V2G technologies may be already implemented in smaller individual contexts: so-called Vehicle to Home, V2H technologies. Starting from these considerations, within the frame of an Italian publicly funded research project, the authors categorized and described many possible application contexts and developed an open-source dynamic simulation (fully available under request for the scientific community) to identify most promising conditions. To this aim, they also synthetized and tested an effective energy optimization algorithm which will soon be implemented on a prototypal wireless V2H device, built by ENEA in cooperation with Cassino University, in Italy. The performances of the system were assessed evaluating electricity auto-consumption and home auto-feeding ratios. Simulations show that very relevant performances can be obtained, up to the values 69% for electricity auto-consumption and 82% of home auto-feeding. Full article

Transitioning the automotive industry from internal combustion engines (ICE) to electric vehicles (EV) has arisen as a critical challenge for global countries in achieving human resource development, owing to the need of new labor skills and replacement of automation systems. By applying a case study of Thailand’s automotive industry in response to this challenge, we aimed to plot out the trajectory of changes involved in the industry’s workforce during its transition with a central focus on Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), in order to make sound suggestions to the government on how to build an effective policy for industry growth. An exploratory research design was adopted for the investigation. Both primary and secondary sources were collected. Interviews with key stakeholders, including official agencies, organizations in the business sector, and academic institutions, were conducted in a semi-structured format to collect as primary data. Meanwhile, secondary data were gathered from reports and other scholarly contributions that are relevant. All of the data that were collected were subjected to qualitative methods of analysis, including content and theme analysis. We found that the advances in technology and associated skills have posed challenges to the SMEs for the workforce relocations in terms of occupational shifts and skill development, with engineering demand potentially growing 10% while low labor skills declined by nearly 70%. We emphasized that without effective policies for establishing EV roadmap and coordination practices between public and private stakeholders, this transition would have a detrimental effect on the workforce development of SMEs, which would ultimately have a harmful impact on the automotive industry and the economy.
