Abstract:
Nowadays Electrical Mobility (EM) is one of the most interesting topics in vehicular environment. With the increasing adoption of EV an appropriate management of hybrid traffic could be a key factor to drastically reduce environmental pollution and to enhance road safety. EVs were slowly becoming a reality in everyday life. A novel mobility model which takes into account their characteristics become necessary for describing the key factors that influence EM and its performances. Moreover, it is important to build a real world close scenario by using a novel ad-hoc simulator that implements modules which are able to capture EV behaviors. Therefore, remarkable contributions to the mobility model introduced in the simulator are: a slope factor that influence users’ speed and behavior as well as vehicle consumption, a Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) emulation for EV to better simulate vehicles’ battery life and integrated module for communication issues which will be able to allow
Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) protocol integration. In this way, a deep analysis on different vehicles distribution ratio has been done as well as their impact on the overall scenario. Results are shown in the dedicated section.
