Joint Optimization of Autonomous EV Fleet Vehicle Sizing, Charging Station Siting, and Fleet Operations

Justin Luke, PhD candidate in Civil and Environmental Engineering presents an optimization model that jointly determines the vehicle sizing, the siting of charging stations of varying charging speeds, and the macroscopic-level operations for an autonomous electric mobility-on-demand fleet. Results from a case-study in San Francisco showing the type of EVs and optimal siting of charging stations and sizes are also presented.
