The development of electric vehicles (EVs) has drawn considerable attention to the establishment of sustainable transport systems to enable improvements in energy optimization and air quality. EVs are now widely used by the public as one of the sustainable transportation measures. Nevertheless, battery charging for EVs create several challenges, for example, lack of charging facilities in urban areas and expensive battery maintenance. Among various components in EVs, the battery pack is one of the core consumables, which requires regular inspection and repair in terms of battery life cycle and stability. The charging efficiency is limited to the power provided by the facilities, and therefore the current business model for EVs is not sustainable. To further improve its sustainability, plug-in electric vehicle battery pack standardization (PEVBPS) is suggested to provide a uniform, standardized and mobile EV battery that is managed by centralized service providers for repair and maintenance tasks. In this paper, a fuzzy-based battery life-cycle prediction framework (FBLPF) is proposed to effectively manage the PEVBPS in the market, which integrates the multi-responses Taguchi method (MRTM) and the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) as a whole for the decision-making process. MRTM is formulated based on selection of the most relevant and critical input variables from domain experts and professionals, while ANFIS takes part in time-series forecasting of the customized product life-cycle for demand and electricity consumption. With the aid of the FPLCPF, the revolution of the EV industry can be revolutionarily boosted towards total sustainable development, resulting in pro-active energy policies in the PEVBPS eco-system.

In this research we have undertaken the task to design and develop a Level - 3 bolt-on autonomous electric vehicle system, which includes lateral and longitudinal controls which means speed and steering. The paper includes the sensors used for obstacle detection and planning in the autonomous vehicle system, and how using stereo cameras reduces the number of sensors needed to be used in the sensor suite. The Autonomous system will be retro-fitted on any existing electric vehicle to make it autonomous and thus increasing its product life cycle.

Systematic Structure

Green manufacturing has been recently viewed as a necessary part of green design which has drawn international attention in view of its close focus on sustainable development. This paper firstly analyzes the concept and idea of green manufacturing, proposing an idea of understanding green manufacturing from the point of resources, environment and product life cycle as a cross-cutting area, then probe the systematic structure and some problems in studying and implementing green manufacturing.

Nowadays economic activities and lifestyles must be green according to Sustainable Development, so Green Design must be taken at the whole process of product life cycle. Now 3R principles (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) is well-known for sustainable envelopment, but for the sake of accelerating green development, It should follows the 10R principles in green design: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Renew, Recharge(or Refill), Repair(or Remedy), Re-manufacture(or Recover), Replace(or Replant), Re-clear(or Refine) and Remove. The 10R principles can make green design at the first time to start green development. It is also the historical responsibility and obligation of contemporary designers.
