In order to increase benefits of a UCC in city logistics, the delivery to the final customers from the UCC can be done using light electric freight vehicles. These LEFV provide numerous operational benefits due to their smaller size while being more sustainable than regular light commercial vans.
LEFV's have several operational limitations as well, mainly concerning their range and loading capacity. In order to successfully combine a UCC with LEFV, smaller inner city microhubs have to be added to the supply chain to provide forward bases of operation for LEFV. Goods are consolidated at the UCC, after which they are shipped to a microhub near the delivery area. From here, the LEFV's carry out the final delivery to the customer.
In this paper by Nick Heijdeman from the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (project LEVV-LOGIC), the case of a coffee and vending machine supplier in Amsterdam was used to analyse the effects of using microhubs and LEFV.
This company already operates out of a UCC, in the research they added microhubs to the supply chain to see their effect. The results showed that using a microhub in the city, in conjunction with a UCC at the edge of the city, was financially more feasible scenario than just using a UCC and delivering directly from it using diesel vans. The case study concludes that in order to make a UCC financially feasible for urban deliveries, it needs to be used in conjunction with LEFV and microhubs.

This document discusses a new technology for generating electricity from body movements using zinc oxide nanowires. The nanowires produce electricity when flexed or strained. Each chip contains millions of nanowires that can generate enough power for small electronics. When the heart beats or the body moves, the vibrations cause the nanowires in a chip placed on the chest to flex, generating electricity that can be stored and used to charge devices like phones or iPods without needing external batteries. The technology has applications in pacemakers and personal electronics and could eliminate the need for batteries by powering devices from human motion.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa began construction in 1172 and took almost 200 years to complete. It developed a lean early on due to unstable soil beneath the foundation that caused uneven settling. Over the centuries, the tower continued tilting further due to fluctuations in groundwater levels that compressed the soil more on the south side. By the 1990s, the lean had reached 5.5 degrees and efforts were undertaken to stabilize the tower, including adding counterweights on the north side and removing soil from that side. Monitoring now indicates the lean has been halted due to these preservation efforts.

While India faces issues like overpopulation, illiteracy, and corruption that contribute to widespread poverty, it is developing its nuclear power industry, increasing its military capabilities, and improving access to education. Overall, India shows great potential to become a future global superpower if it can effectively address its socioeconomic challenges through continued economic liberalization and development.
Monolithic domes are energy efficient, spherical structures constructed using inflatable airforms, reinforced concrete, and polyurethane foam insulation. They offer minimal surface area exposed to outside temperatures and can withstand bomb blasts, earthquakes, fires, and other disasters better than conventional buildings. Many schools, gyms, and other facilities now use monolithic domes, some as tornado shelters. They were invented in 1975 and are built worldwide, ranging in size from small to very large 80-meter diameter domes.
Dams have several ecological impacts. They block sediment and change water flows, damaging fish habitats and interrupting lifecycles. Sediment builds up behind dams, increasing flood risks. Cleared water lacks nutrients and cover for downstream organisms. Stagnant water breeds diseases. Dams displace many people and change flooding patterns vital to agriculture. Major dams like China's Three Gorges and Egypt's Aswan dams displaced over 1 million and 60,000 people respectively.
How effective is double skin façade in preventing building heat lossDarwin Jayson Mariano
Double-skin facades have advantages like natural ventilation, noise insulation, and reducing heating and cooling energy needs. However, they also have disadvantages like higher construction costs and requiring more maintenance. The chief architect of the Shanghai Tower, a supertall skyscraper with a double-skin facade, says it is very effective at preventing heat transfer through the facade. It uses cool air multiple times within the facade and interior before exhausting it, maintaining a temperature gradient that provides high insulation.
1) The document discusses ground improvement techniques of preloading and vertical drainage. Preloading involves applying a surcharge load to improve soil strength and reduce settlements before construction.
2) Vertical drains are often used with preloading to accelerate consolidation by shortening the drainage path. Common types are sand drains and prefabricated vertical drains.
3) Vacuum preloading is described as an alternative to conventional preloading using surcharge loads, applying atmospheric pressure via a membrane system instead. This requires an effective drainage and vacuum maintenance system.
Kansai International Airport is located on an artificial island in Osaka Bay, Japan. It was an ambitious $14 billion project constructed between 1987 and 1994 to serve the major cities of Osaka, Kobe, and their surrounding regions. The airport was built offshore due to a lack of available land near existing airports and public opposition to expansion. However, the soft clay soils beneath the new island caused significant sinking issues, with the island settling over 27 feet instead of the predicted 19-25 feet.

Connected Vehicles—Service Providers: Service Providers at a Crossroads Andreas Mai
This document discusses the opportunities and challenges for service providers in the emerging connected vehicles industry. It argues that connecting vehicles could generate over $50 billion in annual revenue for service providers by 2022 as nearly 300 million cars transmit over 400 million gigabytes of data per month. However, service providers must develop new business models to avoid commoditization and fund the hardware and connectivity needed to securely connect vehicles across networks. Cooperation with automakers will be key to ensuring vehicles can roam across carriers and technologies.
For the elevated future of mobility to become a reality, players need to establish ground infrastructure, a robust communication UTM system & (MaaS) platform. The global electric taxi vertiport market can be segmented by vehicle infrastructure type, regions, aircraft type, components, end users, applications and key market players. This will provide opportunities to analyze subsegments and seize early market advantages.
The document discusses regulatory challenges in urban mobility in India. It provides an overview of the current Motor Vehicles Act and proposed amendments regarding regulations for cab aggregators and transportation services. Case studies are presented on issues faced by a major cab aggregator in India in launching two-wheeler taxis and ride/car pooling services, which have faced resistance from some state governments. Key questions are raised about balancing public risks with innovation and the government's role in regulating new technologies.

Ppp for solving public transport woes in indiaAmit Jain
The public transport in most of the cities are dependent on buses, auto rikshaws, cycle rikshaws which are not able to meet the demand, prone to accidents, delays & traffic jams. The cities need to create an efficient and affordable public transport services. The private sector may be invited through PPP to develop an integrated public transport system in a city. The private sector may charge an appropriate user fee (fare) from the users and earn revenue from commercial activities like advertising, renting & leasing of commercial spaces etc to cover his capital and recurring cost.

Google, Apple, Tesla; all household names
which are becoming inextricably linked to the
vision of the so-called driverless, autonomous
or automated vehicles, holding out the prospect
of a revolution in the ways we’ll move around
in future. But what are the potential benefits
and pitfalls from this revolution in mobility
technology? The LowCVP and the Institution of
Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) commissioned
the Institute for Transport Studies, Leeds to
investigate the potential impacts of these exciting
new technologies and to provide some pointers
as to how policy makers may need to respond to
make sure they can deliver the greatest benefits
in terms of carbon emissions and air quality.
The document discusses a project in the Netherlands to establish a national network of 10,000 electric vehicle charging stations by 2012. This network will help balance energy supply and demand by allowing electric car batteries to provide power storage. It will also promote adoption of electric vehicles by providing widespread access to charging. The project involves developing sophisticated technology for the charging stations and backend management systems to enable monitoring, privacy, usability, and integration with smart grids. It is intended to establish open standards to allow cross-border and cross-system use of the charging network.
Vehicle rental can help accelerate decarbonization but faces challenges electrifying fleets. Shared mobility services are key to increasing zero-emission vehicle usage, but rentals have operational barriers like quick turnarounds limiting charging. Certain rental segments comprising 10% of rentals may transition easier. Electrifying rental fleets faces high acquisition and operating costs, up to 40-60% more than gasoline vehicles. With incentives, policy support, and infrastructure investment, rental companies can help governments increase EV adoption sustainably.
Autonomous vehicles and their impact on passenger mobility industryAbraham Cherian
This document discusses the potential impacts of autonomous vehicles (AVs) on the passenger mobility industry, including e-hailing services, ride-sharing, and rental car businesses. It covers several shared usage models for AVs, effects of shared AV use like reducing parking needs and changing public transportation, and some potential limitations of AVs like increased vehicle miles from empty repositioning. The widespread adoption of AVs could significantly change transportation systems and business models over the coming decades.
The document discusses business model innovation opportunities for electric vehicle adoption. It identifies 10 potential new business models that link the auto industry, energy systems, and transportation infrastructure. These models are evaluated based on their ability to meet stakeholder needs across these sectors and catalyze innovation. The top performing models bundle mobility and energy services, allowing optimized energy usage and new revenue streams. The report recommends actions like tariff innovation to encourage transitioning to these models and capturing benefits of increased electric vehicle use.
The integrated urban mobility vision involves autonomous, customizable, green, and shared vehicles that are connected through digital infrastructure. This will catalyze a transition from vehicle ownership to usage-based car sharing services. Traditional automakers must adapt to this new mobility-as-a-service model through more service-oriented strategies. The rise of collaborative consumption platforms is disrupting urban mobility through new shared mobility business models that provide access over ownership of vehicles. Success requires customizing business models to each city's attributes and making cost structures flexible with sustainable revenue streams.
The integrated urban mobility vision is moving closer to reality as shared mobility business models succeed. Shared mobility models are disrupting traditional urban mobility choices through usage-based pricing, easier vehicle access via apps, and real-time booking. Successful shared mobility requires customizing the business model to each city's dynamic attributes like infrastructure, demographics, and strategic orientation. Profitability depends on factors like pricing models, asset ownership structures, and technology infrastructure. Stakeholders must consider partnerships, customer needs, operations, and regulations to navigate the fast-evolving shared mobility market.
This document discusses the future of autonomous vehicles and self-driving cars. It outlines 4 phases of autonomous vehicle technology, from basic safety features to fully driverless vehicles. It also discusses the technologies required for autonomous driving like lidar, radar, cameras and GPS. The document covers system integration and architecture challenges, human factors, infrastructure requirements, societal impacts, legal issues, and obstacles to widespread adoption of self-driving cars like software reliability and liability.
Smart Cities are emerging everywhere, each city is trying to become the first smart city in the world. A smart city is one of the many concepts of cities of tomorrow, you have other concept such as green cities or cities as a service. A smart city is a data driven city where a wide array of smart and connected infrastructure delivers sustainable and prosperous future for its citizens.
The concept of Smart City revolves around the concept of Smart mobility. “Smart mobility” can be defined as a way to move people and goods using new technology that is faster, cleaner, protected, secure, connected, intelligent, more accessible and less expensive than traditional options. Smart mobility revolves around the Electric Vehicle and is about striving toward frictionless, automated and personalized mobility.
Scientific and Economic Observers expect that electric vehicle will represent 35% of all new vehicles sales by 2022 and that it will represent 41 millions of sales per year by 2040. This evolution won’t be without consequences: A predictable outcome would be an increase in both the number and the size of Electric car batteries. However, the principal components of these batteries are projected to disappear.
To be able to have the brilliant utopian future described earlier, this problem needs to be solved.
Public Partner Partnership for mobility in MexicoDiego Garza
This proposal suggests implementing a smart parking/mobility mobile app that allows users to detect available parking near their destination and pay electronically to reserve spots. Justification is provided that 40% of driving time is spent searching for parking. Public-private partnerships are recommended, with the city providing permissions and private sector providing investment, to develop the system in a way that shares risks and increases overall investment for a positive social return.
Public Private Partnership means an arrangement between a government or statutory entity or government owned entity on one side and a private sector entity on the other, for the provision of public assets and/ or related services for public benefit, through investments being made by and/or management undertaken by the private sector entity for a specified time period.

The aim of the ZEC project is to put an electric mobility system into practice, with
potential for involving all the factors that will constitute the key features of the city’s
future. This will involve recreating the global scenario of electric mobility on a
smaller scale by matching the different transport users (private individuals,
companies, public fleets, car sharing and commercial services) with vehicles (already
included in its lists, or which will be in the future) which have characteristics that meet
the requirements.
The project requires that the Council support an electric business model
4. Objectives of the Zec project
4
Supporting the transition towards electric
mobility in cities
Creating a model for the application of electric
mobility which acts as an international
benchmark
Experimenting with the application of electric
mobility in public transportation in the short
term
5. The management model 1/3
5
Through the implementing party and industrial partnerships, the Local Authority is responsible
for:
1. Planning and building the charging network which shall use electricity from renewable
sources, so that a truly zero emission closed cycle is created. (with 300 charging stations
distributed throughout the urban area)
2. Getting mobility operators involved along with the hubs that tend to generate traffic, to
identify the market demand for electric vehicles, public and private alike; having the first 100
users by 2012
3. Encouraging private users to make use of electric vehicles (both by purchasing and renting
them);
4. Buying (or acquiring use of) a fleet of electric vehicles from the various manufacturers so
they can be supplied on a rental basis (or purchased or provided on a lease without charge)
to the first users (representing the various types of user target). All of which will be run by a
local fleet manager; 100 vechicles by 2012.
5. Encourage mobility using electric vehicles;
6. Promote social awareness and stimulate new individual habits.
6. The management model 2/3
6
Using these considerations as a starting point, based on the study carried out on
mobility flows and in keeping with the average parameters of market potential, it is
estimated that there will be:
900 electric vehicles in circulation
To reach this objective, a service will be activated for providing a fleet of the vehicles
available on the market, on a rental or lease without charge basis.
The managing party shall centralise management through a framework agreement
drafted with vehicle manufacturers. In doing so it will create a variety of proposals
for the various urban users (private individuals, citizens, public companies and public
services).

10. Company fleets
10
Part of the electric vehicles will be loaned to local companies so they may be used for
their own company mobility for company car sharing purposes, or as proper
companies cars. Companies must contribute towards the costs of running the vehicle
by equipping themselves with the necessary infrastructures and identifying the
transportation services which the vehicles are to be used for.

11. Private Individuals
11
Part of the fleet will be destined to private citizens or the self employed, who will be
able to use the vehicles for private and working purposes. There are plans to launch
a competition for selecting the citizens involved, who will need to meet certain
characteristics:
They must be in possession of a dedicated car parking space
where a charging station can be constructed, ideally under
cover
They must have sufficient funds to cover the cost of
managing the long-term rental service (or possibly to
purchase the vehicle).

14. Charging infrastructures
14
The spread of electric vehicles in the city must go hand-in-hand with the creation of a
strategy for infrastructures that charge the vehicles. In order to lay the foundations
for developing a charging network, it is necessary to draft a specific programme in
keeping with incentives for the demand for the electric vehicles stipulated in the
plan.
The infrastructures must be compatible The number of infrastructures must be such that
with different vehicles, produced by there are enough for reaching the objectives
given in the plan. The ratio between the
different car and motorcycle industries number of charging stations and the number
available on the market when the plan of vehicles must be high, to increase
comes to being implemented confidence in electric vehicles.

15. Developing the network
15
The programme for
developing the
network must answer
two questions:
1) Identifying the points 2) Identifying the
of origin, namely by destination points,
answering the question: namely by answering the
where do owners or question: where do
users of an electric owners or users of an
vehicle live? electric vehicle go?
16. Strategy
16
The strategy follows
two lines, according to
the type of In both cases, the electricity
infrastructure needed to charge the vehicles
will come from renewable
sources, this being essential for
Private (or restricted) infrastructure:
of the slow charging type, this will be linked pursuing the goal of a complete
to the purchase of an electric vehicle and will cycle with zero emissions
be located in the garage (or private parking
space) of the owner or, in the case of a fleet,
the vehicle’s user
Public charging infrastructure: the rest of the charging network will
be made up of fast charging stations located in public and company car
parks, municipal roads, shopping centres and modal interchanging stations.
Fast charging will only be considered during the second phase of the project,
taking account of technological developments.

18 months
22. The economics of the project 1/2
22
The overall investment to be made over the 5-year period is just over
€ 9 million.
In the first phase of the start up, an investment of €1,916,000 is planned (almost all of
which is planned on a capital account basis).
Subsequently in the second phase (up until full operativity is reached), the investment will
be a little over €7 million.
Once the project is underway, the operational service will involve running costs of
€500/700 thousand per year, including maintenance and promotional activities.
The managements costs include sub-headings for the running of the service. The
calculations made, however, exclude amounts for electricity consumption. During the
executive phase of the project, links with the multi-utility IREN (or any other energy
suppliers) must be defined, along with the relevant costs resulting from forecasted
estimates for running distances and charging.

24. Benefits of the project 1/2
24
In this project, it was decided to assume the value indicated in the Stern Review, 2006
of 75 euro per tonne for the SCC index. With regard to atmospheric pollutants, the
following were considered: sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrous oxides (NOX), ultrafine
particles (PM2.5 and PM10 particles with a diameter of less than 2.5 or 10
microns), carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Financial
costs linked with atmospheric pollution (ultrafine particles, sulphur oxides and carbon
dioxide etc…) have been calculated adopting those of the INFRAS – IWW study,
Externals costs of transport (2004), this being a source accredited by the European
Community.
To sum up, the average cost values used for the estimate are as follows:
pollutants: 1.27 Euro cents/passenger per km;
climate altering emissions: (CO2): 0.94 Euro cents/passenger per km,
noise: 0.52 Euro cents/passenger per km.
25. Benefits of the project 2/2
25
Taking the following calculation hypothesis into consideration:
1) 900 electric vehicles, replacing as many vehicles with an internal combustion engine;
2) Use of renewable energy to recharge the batteries;
3) An average vehicle occupation of 1 passenger;
4) An average distance covered of 12,500 kilometres per year
When fully operational, we obtain a value of over 250,000 Euro a year saved by
adopting a fleet of 900 electric vehicles charged using energy from renewable
sources. This amount is equal to the annual management costs stipulated in the plan.
In particular, attention must be focused on the environmental aspect, which when fully
operational will make it possible to cut annual CO2 emissions from vehicle traffic by
1,600 tonnes, as well as those from other pollutants, not to mention those that are
harder to quantify such as ultrafine particles, sulphur oxides, carbon monoxide and
volatile organic compounds.
