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 />
