Tutorials
Tutorials are organized as part of the 2024 IEEE International Conference on Smart Mobility IEEE (SM'24).
The Tutorials at IEEE (SM’24) bring together top thought-leaders and pioneers from industry and academia to exhibit and discuss their latest development and deployment results, as well as scientific and technical advances in the fields of smart mobility systems and services.
Tutorial 1
Dr. Engin Zeydan
Senior Researcher, Centre Tecnologic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya (CTTC), Spain
Dr. Madhusanka Liyanage
Associate Professor, School of Computer Science, University College Dublin, Ireland
The tutorial will cover an in-depth study of convergence of data engineering and blockchain for B5G/6G networks. The first part will be background information on data engineering and blockchain and the second part will be on application of those technologies to B5G/6G use cases. In the second part, there will be a step-by-step demonstration of one of the demos during the second part of the tutorial. The participants do not need to have any prerequisite components. Application of data engineering and blockchain concepts in the application of telecommunication networks is an emerging topic and will be most important in the coming years as well. The attendees to this tutorial will have the chance to learn more about data engineering and blockchain for networking and its applications from the perspective of telecommunication operators.
Tutorial 2
Dr. Partha Goswami
Principal, PG Mobility Analysis LLC, USA
The transportation industry in general and automotive industry in particular are undergoing profound changes, overhauling everything from design and development process to user experience, business models and even manufacturing. The proposed tutorial is designed to provide a 360-degree view of key trends and emerging technological changes driving the evolution in today’s mobility. The half day session will highlight the technological developments that is changing the automobile and related transportation devices from just a machine for moving from point to A, to a system that is a platform to provide many other services and functions and can be regularly updated and refreshed via software from the cloud. The tutorial will explore these evolution through three key modules – (1)Influence of the new digital age (2)twelve key emerging themes or trends reshaping the transportation landscape and (3)our look at the future of mobility over the next decade and beyond. The tutorial is targeted at mobility professionals, decision makers and researchers who may or may not have a full line of sight to the diverse facets of the evolution and are curious to understand full landscape.
Tutorial 3
Dr. Sheldon Williamson
Professor and Canada Research Chair, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, Ontario Tech University
Mr. Akash Samanta
Ph. D. Candidate, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, Ontario Tech University
The battery is one of the most critical components of electrified mobility (e-mobility), constituting a significant portion of the vehicle’s cost and serving as a vital depreciating asset. Hence, optimizing the performance, safety, and cost requirements of electric vehicle (EV) batteries is paramount for the wider adoption of e-mobility. The long-term success of e-mobility depends on advancements in battery storage technology that improve safety, reliability, and performance. Most high-energy and power-dense battery chemistries, including lithium-ion batteries, exhibit highly dynamic and non-linear characteristics. Therefore, rigorous testing, analysis, understanding, and innovation are essential for sustainable battery technology applications, especially in e-mobility. This tutorial, titled “The Role and Impetus of Advanced Power Electronics in Smart Battery Testing, Characterization, and Battery Management Systems,” will provide a comprehensive exploration of cutting-edge testing techniques and standards.
The tutorial will discuss in detail the battery degradation mechanisms, the role of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and the possible integration of EIS with on-board power electronics. Further, the impact of battery degradation, particularly during low-temperature fast charging and ineffective thermal management systems, will be covered. A recently validated health-conscious fast charging algorithm, especially for sub-zero operating conditions, and its associated power electronics will be discussed in significant detail. Recognizing the complex and sensitive behavior of automotive batteries, particularly lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), under varying conditions, the tutorial will emphasize the importance of intelligent safety frameworks and innovative battery management systems (BMS). The functionalities of BMS and their associated power electronics converters will be a focal point.
Effective BMS operation hinges on detailed knowledge of battery states and aging profiles. Therefore, recent advancements in cloud computing, digital twin technology, and AI/ML-based state estimators will be explored for their potential to address these challenges. The tutorial will also cover the latest trends in thermal safety and the integration of IoT, offering valuable insights for researchers and development engineers focused on the future of battery technology.
With the increasing availability of retired batteries with 70-80% of remaining capacity can be utilized for several applications such as grid-tied energy storage system, home emergency power supply and other low demanding applications. Therefore, the role of power electronics converters and intelligent BMS for second-life application of retired EV batteries will also be covered in this tutorial.
Accepted Workshops
High penetration of Electric Vehicles is of a great concern in many countries. Utilization of EVs on large scale has not been achieved yet due to many reasons such as high cost of batteries, and insufficient number of public fast charging stations. However, the investment in EV industry and EV charging hubs have considerable opportunities and look feasible in many countries, which can lead to the satisfactory commercial acceptance of EVs and gradual substitution of conventional vehicles.
The purpose of this workshop is to provide an opportunity for researchers from academia and industry to present their research works related to some EV enabling technologies.
The workshop also aims to attract representatives from industry and government to discuss the investment opportunities in these new technologies and the possible ways to overcome the existing challenges. Some recommendations and guidelines can be concluded from the workshop as well.
