Methodologies for Sustainable Electromobility Systems in South American Cities
This workshop will focus on different methods for creating sustainable electric mobility systems in South American cities, using Cuenca, Ecuador as a case study. It will cover techniques for gathering and analyzing data on various modes of transportation (cars, bicycles, motorcycles) to determine their environmental impact. The workshop will also propose specific plans for integrating electric vehicles into the city, taking into account academic, municipal, and business perspectives. We will examine two case studies in Cuenca: the use of electric bicycles for university students and the optimization of electric vehicles within the city. The workshop will delve into methodologies for processing data, selecting routes, evaluating efficiency, and enhancing charging infrastructure.
