Smart urban mobility traffic control system components

Abstract Compared to 10 years ago, electric mobility has increasingly become a present-day reality. However, it is still too early to think of this development as an “electric revolution,” even while acknowledging that the steps toward this new method of conceiving mobility have started and as of 2020, developments in the sector are visible. If one takes a careful look around, it is now commonplace to see the ever-increasing number of electric cars, especially fleets involved in car-sharing arrangements. In addition, there is also a proliferation of recharging systems within the city. The following chapter presents a general discussion of the panorama of electric mobility. It will include: A brief introduction of, and current developments regarding electric vehicles (EVs) around the world; the different types of EVs currently available according to their hybridization levels; the various charging methods and the related systems and equipment as part of infrastructure of the electric vehicle supply equipment.
