Abstract :
This paper presents a mobile information system denominated as vehicle-to-anything application (V2Anything App) and explains its conceptual aspects. This application is aimed at giving relevant information to full electric vehicle (FEV) drivers by supporting the integration of several sources of data in a mobile application, thus contributing to the deployment of the electric mobility process. The V2Anything App provides recommendations to the drivers about the FEV range autonomy, location of battery charging stations, information of the electricity market, and also a route planner, taking into account the public transportations and car or bike sharing systems. The main contributions of this application are related to the creation of an information and communication technology platform, recommender systems, data integration systems, driver profile, and personalized range prediction. Thus, it is possible to deliver relevant information to the FEV drivers related to the electric mobility process, the electricity market, the public transportation, and the FEV performance.
