Development and Integration of ICT Tools for Electric Mobility*

Abstract

The increasing diffusion of electric mobility requires specific attention to the end-users expectations as well as to stakeholders roles and needs. New solutions have to be proposed to improve the driving and charging experience using the electric vehicles by providing tailored tools and services. In this context, this paper shows how ICT (Information and Communications Technology) tools can allow the transition towards such a smart and sustainable mobility. Within the European project H2020 ELVITEN, with particular focus on Electric Light-category Vehicles (EL-Vs), a proper set of ICT services are proposed, including the brokering and booking service for vehicles and charging stations, the ICT platform for monitoring the electric vehicle fleets, the serious game app and the incentive management platform. In the project context, it is demonstrated that EL-Vs and related ICT services are suitable means of transport and tools, respectively, to encourage users towards a new mobility that is electric and sustainable.
