Fast Charging and Resilient Transportation Infrastructures in Smart Cities

by Hossam A. Gabbar

Overview

This book provides readers with expert knowledge on the design of fast charging infrastructures and their planning in smart cities and communities to support autonomous transportation. The recent development of fast charging infrastructures using hybrid energy systems is examined, along with aspects of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV) and their integration within transportation networks and city infrastructures. The book looks at challenges and opportunities for autonomous transportation, including connected and autonomous vehicles, shuttles, and their technology development and deployment within smart communities. Intelligent control strategies, architectures, and systems are also covered, along with intelligent data centers that ensure effective transportation networks during normal and emergency situations. Planning strategies are presented to demonstrate the resilient transportation infrastructures, and optimized performance is discussed in view of performance indicators andrequirements specifications, as well as regulations and standards.
