Workshop on Intelligent Vehicles and Energy (June 27 2011)
On June 27, 2011 a Workshop on Intelligent Vehicles and Energy was carried out at Okan University.
About The Workshop
Vehicular transportation is responsible for a significant fraction of the energy consumed in the world. It is clear that as demand for personal mobility continues to increase in developing economies, the demand for energy will grow with it. The use of ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) technologies in a broad sense must therefore be coupled with a deep understanding of the energy implications of different modes of transportation and with the introduction of alternative energy supplies. In this context, the initiation of EVs (Electric Vehicles) and PHEVs (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles), the use of dense, autonomous driving on highways, the utility of real-time traffic congestion information for Hybrid and Electric vehicles, are all examples in the important "ITS-Energy" domain, the topic of this Workshop.
