Transportation Electrification as a Part of Intelligent Transportation Systems: Key insights from the 2024 IEEE Forum for Innovative Sustainable Transportation Systems (FISTS).

This article summarizes findings from the 2024 IEEE Forum for Innovative Sustainable Transportation Systems (FISTS) on advancing transportation electrification within intelligent transportation systems. Key studies address electric vehicle (EV) adoption drivers, charging behavior, infrastructure equity, climate impacts, and operational challenges for heavy-duty, public, and shared fleets. Novel solutions, such as adaptive cruise control benefits, mobile chargers, and drone-based emergency charging, highlight technology’s role in enabling scalable, and resilient electrified mobility.
