Abstract

This talk discusses the challenges and opportunities of electrifying and automating transportation systems. We first review the overarching trends and challenges posed by decarbonization and safety, the key motivators for electrification and automation, respectively. Next, we discuss the NEXTCAR project, which seeks to reduce energy consumption in an EV by 30% by leveraging connectivity and automation. The next section will discuss SlrpEV – Smart Learning Research Pilot for Electric Vehicle charging stations, which addresses the challenges of public/workplace charging infrastructure. The last project discusses the decarbonization of freight movement via electric heavy duty trucks and battery swapping stations. We close with perspectives on how transportation systems are becoming more coupled with electric power systems.
