Electric Vehicle Routing Optimization – e-VRO
Electric vehicles (EVs) are one of the most promising technologies to reduce petroleum dependency and greenhouse gas emissions. The latter, is especially true when we consider the potential benefits of using EVs for freight transportation, which is believed to be responsible for as much as 30% of em
Elaboration de nouveaux matériaux hybrides à base de gels d'oxyde de titane pour applications en photonique – LaGel
Metal oxides play an important role in many areas of chemistry, physics and materials science. One of the most studied oxides in this respect is titanium dioxide because of several applications of functionalized or doped materials. The developed organic-inorganic hybrid materials are of special impo
Efficient resource allocation in congested networks – RACON
Congestion is a ubiquitous phenomenon arising in many real life situations like transportation or communication networks. Congestion appears when the offered load to the system approaches or exceeds its capacity, having a very bad impact from performance and economic point of view. It is therefore
Efficient and Dynamic ENergy Management for Large-Scale Smart Grids – EDEN4SG
This represents a challenge as strong couplings exist at different levels (local/global) between the smart grid actors which belong to an increasingly uncertain environment (e.g. growing dependence of electric production to photovoltaics and wind). This leads to a highly-coupled, multi-scale and mul
Efficient Management for Door-to-Door Freight Service Networks – Respet
. . . . The industrial research project RESPET aims to develop quantitative approaches for a central problem in freight transportation : the management of door to door freight transportation services. The problem addressed is characterized by a global optimization of the transportation chains (and
Effects of SPin torques, oErsted and RAshba fields on DOmain walls dynamics – ESPERADO
Current-induced motion of magnetic domain walls through the spin-transfer torque (STT) effect has attracted a lot of attention in recent years, for its potential applications to magneto- logic and magnetic data storage as well as for the wealth of associated physical phenomena. In a previous ANR pro
Economies d'énergie dans les moteurs diesel : approche holistique couplant revetements DLC/Diamant et nouveau lubrifiant – ECOLUB
The reduction of energy losses, damage to surfaces and the emission of pollutants are locks for lubrication technology, particularly in the field of transport. To deal with pollution standards even more stringent (EURO 5 by 2012) and the specifications and requirements of manufacturers who still evo
Ecodesign of fruit and vegetable postharvest chain: Optimization of packaging and cold chain – EcoFreshChain
The objective is to design a new biodegradable cellulose packaging and combine it with refrigeration to preserve fruits and vegetables along the post-harvest chain until consumption. Several issues related to the developed packaging are studied: heat/moisture transfers and air flow within the pallet
Easy to fabricate, both sides poly-Si passivating contact bottom cell for Perovskite/Silicon tandem devices – EPoBoC
To reach conversion efficiencies beyond silicon solar cells physical limit of 29.4%, innovation is needed while reducing environmental impact of industrial processes. Multi-junction solar cells that encompass silicon and perovskite subcells offer a very promising option to continue the needed effici
Earth Observation with Optimal Transport for Artificial Intelligence – OTTOPIA
Earth Observation, whether it be by satellites, airborne captors or drones, allows a better understanding of the dynamics of environmental systems or our human society. It is a decisive tool to measure the impact of mankind on earth. In the last 50 years, the fast development of spatial missions and
