“…A fully autonomous robotic sailboat does not need to stop for recharging or refueling ( Hole et al, 2016 ). In cases of semi-autonomy, recharging strategies during the mission must be considered and planned ( Waseem et al, 2019 ). The architectural design adopted in our sailboat is described next.…”

Strategic management and production of internal energy in autonomous robots is becoming a research topic with growing importance, especially for platforms that target long-endurance missions, with long-range and duration. It is fundamental for autonomous vehicles to have energy self-generation capability to improve energy autonomy, especially in situations where refueling is not viable, such as an autonomous sailboat in ocean traversing. Hence, the development of energy estimation and management solutions is an important research topic to better optimize the use of available energy supply and generation potential. In this work, we revisit the challenges behind the project design and construction for two fully autonomous sailboats and propose a methodology based on the Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM) in order to find the best way to manage the supplementary energy generated by solar panels. To verify the approach, we introduce a case study with our two developed sailboats that have planned payload with electric and electronics, and one of them is equipped with an electrical engine that may eventually help with the sailboat propulsion. Our current results show that it is possible to augment the system confidence level for the potential energy that can be harvested from the environment and the remaining energy stored, optimizing the energy usage of autonomous vehicles and improving their energy robustness.

“…However, new technology also brings high upfront costs and low short-term return on investment. Thus, while research continues to show that there is a huge demand for more sustainable vehicles [84], residents are willing to pay extra for more environmentally friendly options [49], and shared mobility is cheaper than car ownership [85], it may be difficult to guarantee economic sustainability-particularly in the short term. For example, while the use of alternative environmentally friendly fuels often achieves better economic performance, the high cost of vehicles-particularly hydrogen fuel cell vehicles-can make the economic sustainability of such vehicles difficult [48].…”

Transportation disadvantage is about the difficulty accessing mobility services required to complete activities associated with employment, shopping, business, essential needs, and recreation. Technological innovations in the field of smart mobility have been identified as a potential solution to help individuals overcome issues associated with transportation disadvantage. This paper aims to provide a consolidated understanding on how smart mobility innovations can contribute to alleviate transportation disadvantage. A systematic literature review is completed, and a conceptual framework is developed to provide the required information to address transportation disadvantage. The results are categorized under the physical, economic, spatial, temporal, psychological, information, and institutional dimensions of transportation disadvantage. The study findings reveal that: (a) Primary smart mobility innovations identified in the literature are demand responsive transportation, shared transportation, intelligent transportation systems, electric mobility, autonomous vehicles, and Mobility-as-a-Services. (b) Smart mobility innovations could benefit urban areas by improving accessibility, efficiency, coverage, flexibility, safety, and the overall integration of the transportation system. (c) Smart mobility innovations have the potential to contribute to the alleviation of transportation disadvantage. (d) Mobility-as-a-Service has high potential to alleviate transportation disadvantage primarily due to its ability to integrate a wide-range of services.

The sustainable economic advancement of a nation stands on an adequate supply of electrical energy. Reduction in cost for industrial processing units has been pulled with the wide utilization of rice husk (RH) and solar energy as valueadded renewable energy sources for the era of power generation. The principal reason is to assist the study area towards development and to build up an integrated hybrid renewable power plant in rural regions in India. In this study, a new solar town concept and integrated biomass can be served as a hybrid global model for a smart eco-village in tropical countries like India. The demand, properties and cost of RH generation from rice mills resemble substitution of coal in power generation. Solar energy and agricultural residues are seasonally accessible sources and loosely dispersed over the substantial topographical area. So, for such an assessment, satellite image is a handy input and the preciseness of estimation increases with a high-resolution image. The methodology has been implemented for optimal sizing of an integrated renewable energy system-based power generation plants in India with less investment and minimum power cost. The outcome of the study reveals that the efficient use of renewable energy sources and proposal for placing a power generation plant require cautious identification of various techno-economic parameters. By considering the power crisis in India, the findings of these works are expected to assist the policymakers in the decision-making process. Particularly, this paper generates data on village-level RH availability from rice mills and subsequently potential electric power capacity for a particular region.
