Article Abstract

This paper established an electric automobile closed-loop chain and obtained optimal pricing and carbon reduction strategies. Then, the system dynamics (SD) method was adopted to define the electric automobile battery closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) boundary. By constructing the stock flow diagram, the linkages between the government module, the positive supply chain module, and the backward recycling module in the CLSC system were visualized, and how emission trading and recycling policies affect decision-making was explained. Furthermore, the full-chain revenue, recovery rate, government revenue, and outlays of eight policy options were simulated. The results indicated that a policy mix was significantly better than a single policy from the perspective of full-chain revenue and the recovery rate. Combining an allowance policy and a deposit-return system could result in greater revenue for the government. Recycling technology advancement and growth in green consumption tendencies enhance the performance of recycling policies.

This study aims to objectively assess the risk perception of young e-bike riders and clarify differences in risk perception among groups with varying individual characteristics. The participants were 604 Chinese youths. They completed an anonymous self-administered questionnaire on risk perception, and the results were used to establish a driving risk evaluation system for electric cyclists.

To co-create a community-informed model of EV adoption, we conducted one English-speaking and two Spanish-speaking focus groups with 29 residents from six disadvantaged urban communities in Southeast Los Angeles. Participants were asked whether they owned an EV or hybrid vehicle, benefits and obstacles to EV ownership, and recommendations for making EV adoption feasible and acceptable. A Community Advisory Council participated in preparation of an interview guide and a review of findings.

August 2025

School of Urban Construction and Transportation, Hefei University, Hefei 230606, China.

This study focuses on exploring the differences in driving abilities in emergency traffic situations between older drivers (aged 60-70) and young drivers (aged 20-35) in a simple traffic environment. Two typical emergency scenarios were designed in the experiment: Scenario A (intrusion of electric bicycles) and Scenario B (pedestrians crossing the road). The experiment employed a driving simulation system to synchronously collect data on eye movement characteristics, driving behavior, and physiological metrics from 30 drivers.

With the rapid development of intelligent automobiles, the chassis serves as an essential carrier of intelligence and a necessary condition for achieving high-level autonomous driving. Its electronic and electrical architecture is evolving toward centralized development, which is also significantly increasing the complexity of system functions. Meanwhile, with the integration of more sensors and an increase in data volume, stricter requirements have been placed on software scalability, portability, and maintainability.
