Mobilità Urbana e Interurbana
The activities of the sustainable mobility group are related to various topics concerning short range and medium range road transport, main being:
-
- Transport arrangement and management: vehicles involved in urban transport, the way they respond to service requests and environmental impact
-
- Passenger and freight transport: main needs, constraints, main indicators
- Vehicle interaction with urban and interurban context: infrastructures requirements
- Transport environmental impact: energy consumption, air quality, sustainability
- Transport accessibility for citizens
- Analysis, design and proposal of new context-related vehicles
-
- Hybrid -full electric vehicles and components, main focus on light vehicles (two wheelers, lightweight quadricycles and vehicles up to 3,5 t)
- Low impact vehicles (electric vehicles) analysis through specific software tools in order to propose future scenarios and support alternative technologies
-
- Vehicle concept design: body, powertrain
- Performance simulation
- Control strategies proposal
- Impact assessment evaluation trough LCA (Life Cycle assessment) methodology
- Experimental activity
-
- Mission profile characterization trough data logging during vehicle service
-
- Development of "real world" driving cycle related to the sector examined
- Use of indicators shared with scientific publication and regulation standard
- Logging of vehicle main parameters
-
- Model validation and testing
