Notice: As of 2014 and for the forthcoming years, the publication frequency/periodicity of WSEAS Journals is adapted to the 'continuously updated' model. What this means is that instead of being separated into issues, new papers will be added on a continuous basis, allowing a more regular flow and shorter publication times. The papers will appear in reverse order, therefore the most recent one will be on top.

ABSTRACT: The 95% of the energy employed is derived from fossil fuels and the transportation sector is responsible for significant part of the air pollution since it is mainly based on the use of diesel engine. In order to cope with these facts, the European Commission proposed a roadmap towards a more resource efficient and competitive transport system. Moving towards a sustainable mobility model is a complex task that involves both technological and social aspects. It is important that the dissemination of these new concepts and new ways of thinking about mobility, the so-called Smart Mobility, starts from Institutions, such as the university campuses. For this reason, this work presents an idea to realize a sustainable University Campus spread in downtown and suburban areas, promoting the use of different kinds of Electric Vehicles (EVs), in particular, Ebike, E-car, E-van, light electric quadricycle and medium-duty E-truck. These EVs are charged through the Renewable Energy Source (RES), in particular, solar energy available in the Campus and they have to be seen as a reinforcement of the public transport system. The characteristic of this project is that the same solutions can be in general applied to any spread campus
