Resilient Energy and Transportation Infrastructure in Smart Cities

ABSTRACT: The vision of smart cities has been gaining increasing attention worldwide as the human civilization becomes more and more urban-centric. The high-level goal of such smart cities is to provide better quality of services by optimally using the available resources, minimizing the operational cost, and maximizing the safety and security. Energy and transportation systems will be an integral part of such smart cities. This talk will be focused on the resilience of some major elements of these energy and transportation systems – batteries, electric vehicles, and connected and autonomous vehicles.
