Research orientation 1_Mobility, the environment <strong>and</strong> energy<br />

indicative <strong>of</strong> ageing in order to trigger predictive maintenance<br />

operations on these systems. Generally, this involves monitoring<br />

the electrical parameters which give an idea <strong>of</strong> the temperature<br />

levels the chips reach.<br />

The REMAPODE project, which was completed in 2011, aims<br />

to achieve more integrated predictive reliability, which is an<br />

important consideration from the economic <strong>and</strong> technical<br />

points <strong>of</strong> view. Innovative investigations have been conducted<br />

to ensure that the monitored electronic parameters provide<br />

an accurate picture <strong>of</strong> mechanical stress levels. Piezoelectric<br />

properties have been used in this context <strong>and</strong> applied in<br />

an original manner to semiconductor traction power components.<br />

The development<br />

<strong>of</strong> electric <strong>transport</strong><br />

Under the scrutiny <strong>of</strong> socioeconomic analysis<br />

The City, Mobility <strong>and</strong> Transport Laboratory (LVMT) at<br />

Champs-sur-Marne on the Cité Descartes site is investigating<br />

the socioeconomic conditions <strong>for</strong> the development<br />

<strong>of</strong> electric vehicles (1) .<br />

It has emerged from this research that the first step is<br />

<strong>for</strong> a group <strong>of</strong> players to create a system, providing vehicles,<br />

recharging terminals <strong>and</strong> parking spaces. The scenarios <strong>for</strong><br />

network development that are described in different countries<br />

resemble one another: a phase <strong>of</strong> technological innovation, followed<br />

by the conquest <strong>of</strong> niche markets (self-service, company<br />

fleets), then the gradual increase in use as a private vehicle.<br />

For a household, exchanging a conventional vehicle <strong>for</strong> an<br />

electric vehicle involves an initial additional outlay which must<br />

be compensated <strong>for</strong> by savings during use (cheaper energy):<br />

<strong>for</strong> this it is necessary to make a considerable number <strong>of</strong> fairly<br />

long trips (<strong>for</strong> example a commuting trip <strong>of</strong> about 30 km), but<br />

these must not be too long because <strong>of</strong> range issues. When<br />

other constraints are considered, <strong>for</strong> example leisure travel<br />

<strong>and</strong> the type <strong>of</strong> housing stock (which affects the installation<br />

<strong>of</strong> terminals) the potential <strong>for</strong> electric car use varies between<br />

10% <strong>and</strong> 30% depending on the region <strong>of</strong> France.<br />

(1) With several partners including Renault, EDF, Véolia <strong>and</strong><br />

in association with the Electric Vehicle GERI (VE).<br />

Urban areas <strong>of</strong>fer considerable potential <strong>for</strong> suitable vehicles<br />

that are lighter, smaller <strong>and</strong> slower <strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong>fer less protection.<br />

A bonus at the time <strong>of</strong> purchase will be necessary during the<br />

expansion phase. The cost <strong>for</strong> the public finances will be part<br />

<strong>of</strong> a series <strong>of</strong> tax effects <strong>and</strong> social accounts (industrial <strong>and</strong><br />

service sector jobs), whose impact will vary considerably depending<br />

on the per<strong>for</strong>mance <strong>of</strong> the nation’s industry in the<br />

context <strong>of</strong> international competition.<br />
