Description
Summary:The integration of Full Electric Vehicles (FEVs) into the smart city ecosystem is an essential step towards achieving sustainable urban mobility. This study presents a comprehensive mobility network model designed to predict and optimize the energy supply for FEVs within smart cities. The model integrates advanced components such as a Charge Station Control Center (CSCC), smart charging infrastructure, and a dynamic user interface. Important aspects include analyzing power consumption, forecasting urban energy demand, and monitoring the State of Charge (SoC) of FEV batteries using innovative algorithms validated through real-world applications in Valencia (Spain) and Ljubljana (Slovenia). Results indicate high accuracies in SoC tracking (error < 0.05%) and energy demand forecasting (MSE ~6 × 10<sup>−4</sup>), demonstrating the model’s reliability and adaptability across diverse urban environments. This research contributes to the development of resilient, efficient, and sustainable smart city frameworks, emphasizing real-time data-driven decision-making in energy and mobility management.
