1. [25 pts.] As an expert in your final-report topic, relate the situation at Autolib’ with the salient aspects of your research.
Autolib organization is an Electric car sharing organization which was initiated in Paris to alleviate several factors like traffic congestion, noise, and air pollution and yield people with more transit options. It was said that roughly about 70% of the Parisians do not have cars still there were more than 1 million people driving in the city each day and approximately about 10% of traffic in capital is looking for parking space which resulted in the congestions and emissions. To resolve these issues a logistic company IER, introduced this system which helps the drivers to reduce the costs by 90%, save time and provided easy access with the help of predictive analysis by analyzing all the facts which constitute to the critical benefits to the city of Paris.
To achieve all the major challenges IER faced a lot of Complexity’s where one of the most concerned factor is gathering of data and resolving it as they had many kiosks located throughout several parts of Paris. IER followed the basic principles where all the data collected is transformed into predictive insights to guide in front line decisions and interactions which helped them, hold on customer for long terms and increase its profitability. Therefore IER only gathered limited sets of data of Paris and its surrounding metropolitan areas and suburbs outside Paris where Parisians commute every day. Using Regression models all the data is collected and the relations between all the data is predicted which will help them for long term planning, development and give them clear picture for the expected solution by the year 2023 and help them implement ...

All the data which is being used will be processed based on knowledge base which will help Autolib develop their ideas and help them to achieve their goals. Finally we can say that the Autolib has used all the features of the knowledge base intelligence successfully to achieve the success for their organization and achieve a simple solution to solve complex problems. We can assume that Autolib along with IER has used most of the principles of KBS not only for designing a new solution but also delivered it in the time span of 7 months which has received high recognition among people and help them commute easily and save around 90% of their earnings by subscribing with their organization rather than maintaining a car and providing customers with more options, programs which support the vision of a greener city with less noise and air pollution.
commuters waste 38 hours per year stuck in traffic. In Washington D.C. and Los Angeles, the situation is even more serious with drivers squandering 67 and 61 hours, respectively, staring at the license plate of the stationary vehicle in front of them” (Keeping, n.d.). Henceforth, it is my speculation that a negative response to the issue of car congestion will generate some serious consequences for the foreseeable future. It is my prediction that a refusal to resolve this dilemma, will spawn complete chaos and anarchy upon the globes highways and byways. Therefore, it is vital that some type of action is taken beforehand in order to alleviate this issue before it gets out of hand. By and large, this final phase of this paper drives this assignment to its conclusion. Ergo, the ensuing portion of this case assignment will elaborate on highlights of this

However, there are several external environments that we have to concern. Technological factors are likely to shape the competitive conditions and are the risks involving in auditing. The Autopilot is one of Tesla vehicle’s feature. The Autopilot of Tesla has different technologies than other cars. “Tesla 's Autopilot is a suite of different technologies including the automatic lane-keeping assistance, automatic emergency braking, and advanced cruise control which automatically maintains a safe distance behind cars ahead on the highway.” Tesla’s autopilot system allow drivers to keep their hand off the steering wheel, which makes Tesla more humanized. However, Autopilot is not the perfect at all. There is a news in June involving Autopilot that caused car accident. I think that the Autopilot system is still blamed for some reasons. And the incident will inevitably raise questions about the performance of the technology in the future. Customers may think the system of Autopilot will make them in danger. However, Autopilot system of Tesla is a breakthrough technology for electric vehicles in the market. Environmental and Social factor are another two challenging for the
The future American commuter will undoubtedly have to transition from the use of fossil fuels to new alternatives due to the diminishing availability of the nation’s oil resources. How will America respond to this upcoming issue? It is difficult to predict which alternative fuel source America will ultimately choose, but with the premier of Nissan’s electric powered Leaf and other companies; such as Tesla Motors and Chevy, with their electric cars ready for market, the electric car may be winning the race to become the new standard for the gasoline alternative. Electric cars resolve long standing environmental issues, but it will need to maneuver around many roadblocks to become a marketable consideration for the general public. The cost of electric cars, currently on the market, makes them an impractical purchase for the average consumer. If cost is not the growing concern in today’s economy which prevents the consumer from considering this option; they may deny the technological advance due to battery storage capabilities and the inadequate infrastructure in place to refuel and provide for them.
The Automotive, or electric car industry particularly, comprises all those companies and activities involved in the manufacture of electric motor vehicles (EV), including most components, such as engines, bodies and rechargeable batteries or another energy storage device. The industry’s principal products are passenger automobiles. Despite the fact that the first electric cars were produced in 1880s , the advances in internal combustion engines, especially the electric starter, soon diminished the relative advantages of the electric car and became the dominant design in the market. Due to this the EV was almost a forgotten industry staying in the early stage of development, conforming to less than 1% of the automotive stock
Today, people try to find resources that do not impact on the ozone, or cost a large amount of money. Moreover, most people are not happy with unclean air, which causes an unhealthy environment to live in, and one of the reasons that make unclean air is a fossil fuel. There are millions of cars run daily, so they make the area impure; therefore, the electric cars are the solution for this problem. Electric cars powered by electric motors, and using renewable energy instead of gasoline, are more helpful. One author argues that electric cars are more useful than traditional cars to protect the environment, especially when they depend on the source that used.
In fact the electric vehicle has been regarded as the best alternative to fuel cars in the future. Because the electric vehicle will not run by fuel which has been considered by many experts in many years later will be exhausted. As a result, world’s auto giants competitively invest heavily in electric vehicle research and development. For instance Tesla Motors which has been the pioneer of electric vehicles in the world is now gaining ever-increasing popularity globally. Tesla Motors change the global energy structure and provide a paradigm shift to the automobile industry. Other than that it contributes a lot to solving dependency of global transportation on oil which is one of the most important culprits for global climate change. However Tesla also suffers from some flaws that hinder the development of electric vehicles. For example the expensive production costs make the market price of the Tesla is difficult to achieve expected standard. Consequently the electric vehicle is difficult as popular as a normal car. In fact ordinary consumers will pay more attention to the economy of a vehicle but not whether it is environmental friendly. In addition the low battery life cannot meet the needs of people travelling long distances. Actually Tesla Models has promised that they would establish rapid charging stations network across the United States and all of Tesla 's electric car charging stations can be quickly filled with
Today, people use their own personal vehicles to travel more than ever before. Personal transportation is no longer considered a luxury; it is now considered a necessity. The number of cars in the United States has been growing steadily since the 1970s. The number of miles traveled by cars has risen nearly 150 percent, yet the United States population has only grown roughly 40 percent during that time (hybridcars.com, Driving Trends). Although it may seem like we are advancing into the future, in reality, we are moving backwards from the effects these vehicles have on our bodies and the environment. The pollution produced by these vehicles has brought us to the day where we must find other modes of transportation that cause less harm to the world in which we live. Advances in technology have developed hybrid vehicles to try and slow down the amount of pollution. Driving a hybrid vehicle, instead of a conventional gas powered vehicle, can reduce the amount of pollution that affects our lives and the environment around us.
...ion free. While the technology does exist, the complete implement of zero emission transportation has to be pushed. Ones concern for their role in changing the planet must expand beyond their individual realm of influence. The education and structure of developing countries will play a key role in determining transportations future. As humans progress the flow of outdated technology sifts down through the various economies, to some the idea of transportation through the internal combustion engine is still a novel idea. For the future of transportation to remain as useful and dependable as it is today, a conscious effort must be made to correct climate change while influencing those whose are still captivated by technology and unaware of its catastrophic effects to take a new approach and enable the entire population of the world to commute with sustainable energy.
The global company Mercedes-Benz is considered one of the most successful and well-known automotive companies worldwide. Since 1886, the company’s founders Gottlieb Daimler and Carl Benz made history with the invention of the automobile, including the Daimler Group, which is one the biggest producers of premium cars and the world’s biggest manufacturer of commercial vehicles globally (Daimler, 2013). Their main focus is innovation, safety, technology, style, brand image, expansion, and superior automobiles by offering the best of the best to consumers worldwide. The brand’s philosophy is to continuously create radically new products to advance the cause of human mobility. It is also the number one luxury brand in the United States and Germany while continuously expanding in China and Russia as well (Interbrand, 2013). Mercedes-Benz has a great selection on divisions such as cars, trucks, vans, buses, and financial services offered to any consumer or business. Their global reach has increased tremendously by including production facilities in 17 countries on five continents and having 93 locations worldwide. As a pioneer of automotive engineering, their strategy is to continue the same pioneer role with the ongoing development of mobility, especially in the areas of safety and sustainability (Daimler, 2013). It is very essential for the company to focus on consumers’ needs and their highly well known brand in a competitive global economy. That is why the company Mercedes-Benz releases a brand new model every year to stay on top of its competitors by improving previous models. Some strategies practiced are global marketing, global product development, global product pricing, global advertising, global distribution, an...
There is no doubt that electric cars are the most appealing from of transportation in the world. They provide two of the most important key points of good transportation: reliable and efficient. They are reliable due to their simplicity of their power trains and the advancement of technology they have. They are efficient because they don't use any gasoline and because their motors can pass the zero-emission standard. Even though they may seem like a boring form of transportation, they offer good features that help keep the Earth's air clean and they help reduce pollution.
Most people today fill up their car with different qualities of petrol, because that's what the average car takes. They don't usually consider an alternative for the petrol that they load into their cars. Although petrol is widely used, it is not the only source for a car to get its power from; diesel and electricity are alternatives to the general petrol used by most cars. Although different from each other, diesel and electricity are alternatives to the average gasoline received at a gas station. Diesel is a more concentrated type of fuel that is usually used by big automobiles because they require a lot of power in a little amount of time. Electricity is a method that uses the power of batteries to produce a low horsepower but, nevertheless fast automobile. Electric cars are generally created to be soundless and environment friendly. The purpose of this paper is to classify and educate the reader of the different types of fuel available for an automobile to use: petrol, diesel, and electricity. The general petrol, used by most people, is usually the only type of fuel accepted on the average car in the United States today.
In this modern era, the level of pollution worldwide has been increasing consistently which in turn has brought harm to humans via many different ways. Consequently, the government must find a solution to solve this problem as speedily as possible. However, banning the ownership of private vehicles is not the only and definitely not the best way to decrease pollution. Although carbon emissions from vehicles do contribute towards a significant amount of pollution, banning the ownership of private vehicles in modern day society is unnecessary because pollution can also be caused by many other factors such as bad lifestyle choices on humanity’s part, lack of stricter or enforcement of environmental laws by governments as well as the fact that vehicles are an essential part of modern city life.
One of the major problems that face the Egyptian society is the traffic problem. The public transportation is now creating an obstacle for the people to use it. The people have hard times in reaching their destinations or in carrying any estimation about the time that would take them to reach their final destinations. Delay for their work and other problems would face the people. The population is increasing enormously in Egypt and thus, traffic would be an expected outcome. Public transportation is one of the main tools that the people would have to reach their jobs and their destinations. The public transportation is a low cost means of transportation if compared to the taxis and the private cars. According to the recent studies by the World Bank, Cairo is one of the cities that is witnessing traffic congestion. The accidents on the road ways are increased to reach around 4000 persons to be injured yearly in Cairo only and around 1000 person would die due to road related accidents in Cairo only. This percentage would be contributing to nearly half the pedestrians. (Khalifa, Mona; DaVanzo; Adamson. 2000) The public transportation would be numerous as public buses, metros and undergrounds metros. The traffic congestion in Cairo would be setting a financial burden on the Government, as it would cost the Government around fifty Billion Egyptian pounds per year. This amount of money is contributing to around 4 percent of the GDP growth rate of Egypt. This percent is also four times more than the costs estimated by any same size city. The loss of productivity would be one of the major effects and side effects of the traffic and the public transportation issues. The fuel consumption and the environmental pollution would be the major is...
Transportation is one of the major parts of our social life today. Living without any transportation means is unimaginable as the world has changed to a global village with the advent of new technologies and newer vehicles being introduced with higher speeds and less time consumption. People want faster and easy means of travelling to their destination in less time and low costs. To achieve their aims and goals people also have their own vehicles to travel on, but there is a large majority of people who can’t afford to buy even a motorcycle for them, and for such people, is the public transport in every part of the world.
