Electric vehicles emerged before the internal combustion ones but are still treated as novelty and a new solution for human mobility. Although this is not a new technology, in the course of time it was improved and today ...

In this work, a mini wind turbine was developed that takes advantage of the kinetic energy of the winds around a moving car. The blades were designed according to inclination angles in order to capture as much energy as ...

Speed control systems are used in most countries to enforce speed limits and, consequently, to prevent accidents. Most of such systems are based on intrusive technologies which require complex installation and maintenance, ...

The current PhD thesis presents a complete methodology applied to project and construction of a solution applied to aid people who need to move loads in professional or daily activities. This solution joins the capacity ...

A multi-agent system with a percolation approach to simulate the driving pattern of Plug-In Electric Vehicle (PEV), especially suited to simulate the PEVs behavior on any distribution systems, is presented. This tool intends ...
