Finding an Energy Efficient Path for a Plug-In Electric Vehicle via Speed Optimization

2022-07-03
In recent years, due to increased environmental and social awareness, sustainability related studies have gained popularity. Due to their adverse effects to the environment, greenhouse gas emission reduction has been a major concern in several areas of studies. In particular, there has been an increased interest in the logistics sector to control carbon dioxide emissions. The use of electric vehicles has a great potential due to their lower tailpipe carbon dioxide emissions compared to vehicles with internal combustion engines. In the direction of this advantage, a problem for Plug-In Electric Vehicles (PEVs) is proposed in this study. Given an origin-destination pair over a directed network, the problem of determining a path joining origin and destination, the speed of a plug-in electric vehicle on each road segment, i.e., arc, along the path, the charging stations the vehicle will stop by, and how much to recharge at each stop so as to minimize the total amount energy consumption of the vehicle is considered. There are speed limits on each road segment, and the vehicle has to arrive at the destination on or before a given time-limit. For this problem, a mixed-integer second order cone programming formulation is proposed. Secondly, to be able to solve larger size instances, a matheuristic is developed. Lastly, an iterated local search (ILS) algorithm is designed for this problem. Solution quality and computation times of the heuristics and the exact algorithm are compared.

Environmental education has gained significant importance in recent years to increase the new generation's environmental awareness, attitudes, and behaviors with the intention of reducing and preventing the possible destruction of climate change. In Northern Cyprus, most of the studies focused on the relationship between environmental education and environmental attitudes of students at secondary school, high school, and university levels. In this thesis, environmental education has been examined from a fre...
Adapting the quality function deployment method to design appropriate building facades
Deljavan, Nastaran; -, -; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2020-11)
Advances in technology have changed the lifestyles of most people around the world, thus causing an increase in energy consumption and environmental pollution. Since buildings’ facade can play an important role in providing human comfort, decreasing energy consumption, and environmental pollution, facade design should integrate various technologies together by considering construction materials, cost-effectiveness, occupant’s requirements, and climatic zones. Considering all of these design parameters toget...
Adopting sustainability assessment criteria to guide urban regeneraton projects: two case studies in Ankara
Seyhan, Zeynep.; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Architecture (2019)
Increasing awareness of climate change, loss of biodiversity and increase in environmental pollution due to the current trends of consumption in the urban areas have brought about a myriad of schemas to guide environmentally friendly urban developments. These schemes or Neighborhood Sustainability Assessment Tools (NSA Tools) provide a convenient way to establish healthier and sustainable cities. Meanwhile, Turkey is going through a rapid urban transformation process that is being questioned with respect to...
Evaluation of Walkability and Pedestrian Level of Service
Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye (2018-01-01)
Due to decreasing resources, living in urban regions focus on sustainability in many aspects, including transportation. Sustainable transportation encourages non-motorized modes of walking and cycling as well as public transit (which also relies on walking while accessing a station), as well. However, walking as a mode is still a big mystery itself that needs further attention and research effort especially in the evaluation part. So far, the planners have discussed the concepts of walking and walkability, ...
