Dive deep into the latest breakthroughs in electrified modes of transport  

In Transportation Electrification, an accomplished team of researchers and industry experts delivers a unique synthesis of detailed analyses of recent breakthroughs in several modes of electric transportation and a holistic overview of how those advances can or cannot be applied to other modes of transportation. The editors include resources that examine electric aircraft, rolling stock, watercraft, and vehicle transportation types and comparatively determine their stages of development, distinctive and common barriers to advancement, challenges, gaps in technology, and possible solutions to developmental problems. 

This book offers readers a breadth of foundational knowledge combined with a deep understanding of the issues afflicting each mode of transportation. It acts as a roadmap and policy framework for transportation companies to guide the electrification of transportation vessels. 

Readers will benefit from an overview of key standards and regulations in the electrified transportation industry, as well as:  

• A thorough introduction to the various modes of electric transportation, including recent advances in each mode, and the technological and policy challenges posed by them 
• An exploration of different vehicle systems, including recent advanced in hybrid and EV powertrain architectures and advanced energy management strategies 
• Discussions of electrified aircraft, including advanced technologies and architecture optimizations for cargo air vehicle, passenger air vehicles, and heavy lift vertical take-off and landing craft 
• In-depth examinations of rolling stock and watercraft-type vehicles, including various system architectures and energy storage systems relevant to each  

Perfect for practicing professionals in the electric transport industry, Transportation Electrification is also a must-read resource for standardization body members, regulators, officials, policy makers, and undergraduate students in electrical and electronics engineering.
