| Message from the EiC |
Welcome to the May 2020 issue of VTS Mobile World – your IEEE Vehicular Technology Society newsletter. I hope you are doing well and keeping safe.
In this issue, we feature a new video—Advanced Data Analysis for Train Resource Planning with Python—available at the VTS Resource Center. Also included are recently published papers from the IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology.
In addition, there is a message from the Chair of the VTS Ad Hoc Committee on Autonomous Vehicles. You will also find an update about the VTS Distinguished Lecturers and Distinguished Speakers Program in response to COVID-19.
As always, I am available to hear your feedback; just send me a note at Richard.Yu@ieee.org. Read More... |

| Capacity Planning of PEV Charging Infrastructure |
| A. Abdalrahman and W. Zhuang |
Editor-in-Chief Sumei Sun invites all to peruse the following two IEEE OJVT articles.
The first—Plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging infrastructure is necessary to accommodate the rapid increase in PEV penetration rate. Capacity planning of PEV charging infrastructure (EVCI) must ensure not only a satisfactory charging service for PEV users but also a reliable operation of the power grid. In this paper, we propose a quality-of-service (QoS) aware capacity planning of EVCI. Read More... |
