Challenges to data sharing of electric vehicles: alleviating privacy concerns with edge computing
The Australian Government has released Australia’s first National Electric Vehicle Strategy to increase the uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) in Australia (Australian Government, 2023), which has the potential to reduce carbon emissions substantially, given that electricity is produced from renewable energy sources (Degirmenci & Breitner, 2017).Despite environmental benefits like reduced carbon emissions, EV owners become increasingly concerned about their privacy due to enhanced EV connectivity and increased personal data sharing through EV digital services. Edge computing, where data is processed …

Uberizing charging station allocations for electric vehicles
Uberization refers to the use of digital services to offer direct contact between service providers and service seekers (Bootz et al., 2022), which provides new opportunities for peer-to-peer charging of electric vehicles (Hu et al., 2021).In this project, we explore the uberization of peer-to-peer charging from a sharing economy perspective and analyse opportunities for service innovation of electric vehicles.ReferencesBootz, J.-P., Michel, S., Pallud, J., & Monti, R. (2022). Possible changes of Industry 4.0 in 2030 in the face of uberization: …

Understanding energy demand behaviours in Internet of Vehicles (IoV) systems
The internet of vehicles (IoV) plays an important role in the internet of things (IoT) value system. IoV enables vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications through enhanced connectivity and data-driven decision-making. However, given the importance of energy infrastructures in IoV systems (Shen et al., 2021), the role of energy demand behaviours is yet overlooked.In the context of electric vehicles as low-emission consumer energy resources (Degirmenci & Breitner, 2017), V2V and V2I networks improve the communication with other vehicles and charging …
