A Web-Based Georeferenced Model of the Urban Traction Electrification System in Turin
Transport accounts for approximately 25% of Green House Gas emissions in Europe, with urban road transport being a major contributor to air pollution. Decarbonizing urban transport is essential, particularly as over 70% of Europeans reside in urban areas. Strengthening public transport, the most sustainable travel option for large populations, is a key strategy. This article […]

Digital Twin Implementation for Urban Tram Systems: A Data-Driven Model for Estimating Traction Current
The urgent need to decarbonize our cities places the transport sector—responsible for a significant share of greenhouse gas emissions—at the center of global sustainability efforts. Achieving this goal requires not only the electrification of public transport systems but also ensuring their efficiency and effectiveness to encourage widespread adoption over private vehicles. A promising strategy to […]

Voltage Divider Design for DC Traction in Tramway Networks
This paper presents the study and development of a high-performance voltage transducer for the accurate monitoring and control of traction voltage in tramway systems. The proposed transducer offers a more effective alternative to the Hall-effect sensors currently adopted, which suffer from some drawbacks such as limited frequency bandwidth and unsuitability for outdoor applications. The research […]
