Abstract

Mobile charging stations (MCSs) offer flexible, portable, and scalable alternatives to fixed charging stations (FCSs) for electric vehicles. To develop a cost-effective and efficient mobile charging fleet, this study proposes a bi-objective programming model to address the joint scheduling and routing problem of MCSs considering the layout of FCSs. The objectives are to minimize the total travel distance of MCSs and maximize the system coverage level. The weighted sum method and linear relaxation technique are employed to transform the proposed model into a single-objective integer linear programming model solved by the Gurobi solver. A case study in the Futian District of Shenzhen, China shows that the integration of MCSs results in a 6.7% improvement in the system coverage level. The experimental results provide quantitative insights into the impact of various MCS configurations on objectives. Additionally, the operational data of MCSs offer valuable references for the strategic planning of FCSs.

电动汽车移动充电服务优化

移动充电站（mcs）为电动汽车提供了灵活、便携和可扩展的替代固定充电站（FCSs）。为了构建一个经济高效的移动充电车队，本研究提出了一种双目标规划模型，以解决考虑fcs布局的mcs联合调度和路由问题。目标是最小化mcs的总行程距离并最大化系统覆盖水平。利用加权和法和线性松弛技术将该模型转化为单目标整数线性规划模型，并用Gurobi求解器求解。以深圳福田区为例研究表明，mcs的整合使系统覆盖水平提高了6.7%。实验结果为不同MCS配置对物镜的影响提供了定量的见解。此外，mcs的运行数据为fcs的战略规划提供了有价值的参考。
