Sažetak

Electric road vehicles are more and more being included in today’s traffic imposing new ways how road vehicles should be used and how the transport network should be managed. To ensure optimal usage of electric vehicles, new routing algorithms are needed that take into account the road elevation in order to minimize the energy consumption. Additionally, the charging process has to be optimized so that the electric grid is not overloaded and the electric vehicle can be used as a short-term energy source in times of increased electric energy consumption. In the same time, the charging costs have to be kept on a minimum. Additionally, traffic control should be also adapted to maximize the transport network throughput and minimize the energy consumption. Goal of this project is to build a small scale electric vehicle using the Pioneer 3AT mobile robot, to start the development of a simulation model for the built small scale electric vehicle and of new routing algorithms suitable for electric vehicles in urban environments, create a simulation framework for urban road networks and to start the development of new traffic control algorithms appropriate for traffic flows containing electric vehicles.
