Abstract
The global increase in electric vehicle (EV) usage is evident; however, inadequate infrastructure in many regions still creates range anxiety among drivers. To address this concern, this paper presents a two-stage methodology for analyzing green transformation projects at existing gas stations towards determination of the most appropriate location and capacity decisions. The first stage of the methodology involves a state of charge tracking optimization model to enhance the process of making location decisions and the optimization model is run several times by considering different parameter values to evaluate potential locations for electric vehicle charger installation. In the second stage, a simulation model is constructed to explore capacity decisions based on various scenarios related to regional densities. Afterwards, extensively tested experiments are performed through a real case from Trabzon province of the Karadeniz Coastal Road, a geographically significant area in Turkey's Eastern Black Sea region, to obtain remarkable insights and policy recommendations. As a result, policy recommendations derived from this study emphasize the prioritization of charging station installations at high-frequency locations and tailoring the number of charging units to regional density. The significance of this study is to offer adaptable solutions for various locations, enhance practical utility and support informed decision-making in infrastructure planning by providing a proposed two-stage methodology for sustainable transportation planning.
期刊介绍：
Research in Transportation Business & Management (RTBM) will publish research on international aspects of transport management such as business strategy, communication, sustainability, finance, human resource management, law, logistics, marketing, franchising, privatisation and commercialisation. Research in Transportation Business & Management welcomes proposals for themed volumes from scholars in management, in relation to all modes of transport. Issues should be cross-disciplinary for one mode or single-disciplinary for all modes. We are keen to receive proposals that combine and integrate theories and concepts that are taken from or can be traced to origins in different disciplines or lessons learned from different modes and approaches to the topic. By facilitating the development of interdisciplinary or intermodal concepts, theories and ideas, and by synthesizing these for the journal''s audience, we seek to contribute to both scholarly advancement of knowledge and the state of managerial practice. Potential volume themes include: -Sustainability and Transportation Management- Transport Management and the Reduction of Transport''s Carbon Footprint- Marketing Transport/Branding Transportation- Benchmarking, Performance Measurement and Best Practices in Transport Operations- Franchising, Concessions and Alternate Governance Mechanisms for Transport Organisations- Logistics and the Integration of Transportation into Freight Supply Chains- Risk Management (or Asset Management or Transportation Finance or ...): Lessons from Multiple Modes- Engaging the Stakeholder in Transportation Governance- Reliability in the Freight Sector
