The framework consists of indices such as Active Mobility Facility Index (<em>AMFI</em>) and the Perceived Service Quality Index (<em>PSQI</em>) which requires primary (user perception surveys) as well as secondary data (road inventory surveys).

Traditional online real-time charging scheduling, often relying on receding horizon policies, overlooks critical challenges posed by the asynchronous nature of EV arrivals and departures. Specifically, these strategies struggle to effectively handle two distinct types of charging sessions: those already connected in real-time with known parameters, and those yet to connect but anticipated within a prediction horizon, characterized by higher uncertainty compromising scheduling efficiency. To fill these gaps, this article proposes Padding-Asynchronous-arrivals, Transition-probabilities-Captured, Heterogenous-horizons-aware (PATCH), a novel framework for EV scheduling. In the first Padding-Asynchronous-arrivals (PA) module, by detecting real-time connected sessions and padding future arrivals, PATCH prepares for optimal charging allocation. In the second Transition-probabilities-Captured (TA) module, the charging scheduling is formulated as a Markov decision process (MDP), leveraging the deterministic arrival time of real-time sessions to accurately model transition probabilities and distinguish uncertainties. The final Heterogenous-horizons-aware (H) module ensures that each session’s charging requirements are met prior to departure, while dynamically adjusting the prediction horizon based on individual session durations. The MDP-based scheduling problem within PATCH is solved using a robust-bonded dynamic programming algorithm, ensuring resilience against various uncertainties while optimizing time costs. Simulations based on real-world EV charging data demonstrate that, under the premise of maintaining a similar computing speed with traditional methods, underscoring its potential to enhance EV charging management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47824,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Transportation","volume":"19 5","pages":"Pages 446-461"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144124475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An increasing number of regions, including Taiwan, are implementing plans to phase out the sale of Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles (ICEVs). In Taiwan, where the transportation sector contributes 13% of fossil carbon emissions, nearly half attributed to passenger vehicles, electrification is key to achieving net-zero emissions. This study provides a comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) and total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis of 182 vehicle models, including ICEVs, Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), and BEVs. Our findings reveal that BEVs reduce total CO<sub>2</sub> emissions by an average of 20% compared to ICEVs, largely due to decreased emissions from electricity generation and reduced fuel consumption. Although BEVs initially present double the purchase costs of ICEVs, their long-term economic competitiveness is enhanced by lower operational and maintenance costs. Nevertheless, the environmental impact of BEVs depends heavily on the decarbonization of the power grid, and the prevalence of expensive imported BEVs challenges their adoption. This study highlights the necessity for specific policies, such as financial incentives, support for domestic BEV production, and accelerated grid decarbonization, to enhance BEV adoption in Taiwan. Such measures, coupled with increased public awareness, are crucial to ensuring Taiwan’s vehicle electrification aligns with its ambitious 2050 net-zero emission goals.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47824,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Transportation","volume":"19 4","pages":"Pages 363-374"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144106053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
