Project Description
With the fast development and growth of Electric Vehicles (EV) in use, finding optimal locations for charging facil- ities became a critical issue since growth of EVs heavily depends on the availability of public charging facilities. Tow types of charging facilities are considered: charging pad and charging station.
The feature of charging is that they charge vehicles while the vehicles are in motion, meaning an EV is required to travel on a charging pad for a certain distance to get charged. However, a charging station is similar to regular gas stations which can be located at intersections or anywhere along the roads.
In this project, our goal is to consider both charging station and charging pad allocation to maximize the recharged EV flow.
