“…However, the condition might be different when it comes to private owning due to the high cost. Hence, subsidies from the government play an important role in reducing the cost and provide a great push for the growth of these green energy vehicles [132].…”

The Shared Mobility Problems (SMP) with the rideshare concept based on sharing a vehicle are fast becoming a trend in many urban cities around the world. Examples of these problems are like ridesharing, carpooling, taxisharing, buspooling, vanpooling, and multi-modal ridesharing. This is the new way to access transportation services by those who are propelling the sharing economy, where access rather than ownership is the new norm. This paper provides a systematic review of SMP using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) method. A total of 110 papers from the last decade are selected from 12 abstracts and citation databases to be reviewed and classified. This is done based on the problem types, variants, characteristics, and solution approaches. The current trends and analysis of the survey findings are also summarised. From this systematic review, it is observed that both the time window and multi-objective problems are popular among the researchers, while the minimisation of the total cost is the main concern in the literature of the SMP. Both static and dynamic cases of the SMP are the most researched where heuristic and metaheuristic approaches are widely adopted by the researchers in the literature. Finally, challenges and suggestions for future work are discussed and highlighted.

“…Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) are progressively taking hold in the market, as a viable alternative to Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs). In particular, Plug-in Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (PFCEVs) represents possibly an even more appealing solution than FCEVs, since they are generally more energy efficient, due to the possibility of component downsizing and optimization of control strategies [1,2]. In addition, the plug-in fuel cell/battery hybrid powertrain configuration is suitable for implementation across a wide range of road vehicle sizes and typologies, from heavy duty trucks [3][4][5] to lightweight vehicles such as bicycles, scooters and threewheelers [6][7][8].…”

Design of a hydrogen-powered bicycle for sustainable mobility

Hydrogen-powered vehicles are emerging as a key source for a clean and sustainable mobility scenario. In particular, hydrogen technologies have a great potential for light mobility in urban areas, where traffic congestion may cause very high levels of local pollution. In this context, hybrid fuel cell/battery vehicles represent a promising solution, since they allow for extended driving range and short recharge time, which are two of the major concerns related to electric propulsion, in general. In this work, a new plug-in fuel cell electric bicycle concept is presented, where the on-board energy storage is realized by means of an innovative system integrating a battery pack with a metal hydride hydrogen tank. This solution allows to achieve very high performance in terms of riding range, which are unattainable with traditional battery electric bicycles. In particular, the hybrid energy storage system is conceived to provide an optimal thermal management of the two integrated components. The proposed design is developed on the basis of typical duty cycles acquired during on-road measurements. A prototype of the bicycle is then realized and bench-tested in order to assess design consistency and to evaluate its performances. The results show that the riding range of the new hydrogen-fuelled bicycle is about three times higher than the one for a similar electric bicycle.

“…Since the average actual power demand is only a fraction of the peak power that the vehicle power unit can provide, in a PFCEV the fuel cell can be sized on the average vehicle power demand, thus providing the required energy, while the battery pack acts as a power buffer. Thus, this configuration allows to reduce the overall costs by downsizing both the fuel cell stack and the battery pack [6][7][8][9][10]. Moreover, the electric range of the battery can satisfy short commutes, reducing the need of a widespread diffusion of hydrogen refueling stations that a FCEV solution would have, with advantages on the infrastructure costs [11].…”

Development of a plug-in fuel cell electric scooter with thermally integrated storage system based on hydrogen in metal hydrides and battery pack

et al. 2022

The thermal management of lithium-ion batteries in hybrid electric vehicles is a key issue, since operating temperatures can greatly affect their performance and life. A hybrid energy storage system, composed by the integration of a battery pack with a metal hydride-based hydrogen storage system, might be a promising solution, since it allows to efficiently exploit the endothermic desorption process of hydrogen in metal hydrides to perform the thermal management of the battery pack. In this work, starting from a battery electric scooter, a new fuel cell/battery hybrid powertrain is designed, based on the simulation results of a vehicle dynamic model that evaluates power and energy requirements on a standard driving cycle. Thus, the design of an original hybrid energy storage system for a plug-in fuel cell electric scooter is proposed, and its prototype development is presented. To this aim, the battery pack thermal power profile is retrieved from vehicle simulation, and the integrated metal hydride tank is sized in such a way to ensure a suitable thermal management. The conceived storage solution replaces the conventional battery pack of the vehicle. This leads to a significant enhancement of the on-board gravimetric and volumetric energy densities, with clear advantages on the achievable driving range. The working principle of the novel storage system and its integration within the powertrain of the vehicle are also discussed.
