Intelligent Infrastructure for Last-mile and Short-distance Freight Transportation with Electric Vehicles in the Domain of Smart City Logistic

摘要

The current living standard of industrial nations causes increasing CO_2 emissions, particulate matter, and noise pollution. An essential amount of these environmental issues is induced by stop-and-go traffic within cities which is seriously characterized by short-distance freight transport trips with inner-city and suburban distances. The Smart City Logistik project strives for a practical and short-term solution to this problem in the concrete context set by the city of Erfurt, Germany. This paper provides the results of an open and intelligent infrastructure for transportation with electric vehicles. The special focus is on holistic reflection of ICT support in the electric city logistic.
