Abstract: With technological and social advocacy for more sustainable transportation, we are seeing increasing interest in sustainability mobility, particularly from the perspective of fleet operators (transit, freight, share mobility providers, etc.) considering electrification. Wholesale adoption decisions are easier to make at a fleet level than individually for each consumer in a passenger vehicle market. Nonetheless, for such operators, a number of considerations need to be addressed. Charging activities remain considerably longer duration and in limited availability than internal combustion engine alternatives; these limitations impose queueing inefficiencies and subsequent EV adoption disincentives that need to be addressed through a mix of technological and data-driven operational innovations. Lessons learned from recent advances are presented with an eye toward an electric Mobility-as-a-Service future.
This seminar series is co-organized by the Department of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning, Transportation Institute, and Institute of Data Science at Texas A&M University. It is run by Texas A&M Urban Data Science Lab.
