The method of route optimization of electric vehicle
Norbert Lech, P. Nikończuk
Abstract
Effective trip planning should consider the location of vehicle charging stations. Optimizing the route of electric vehicles should be carried out taking into account the location of the charging stations. The article presents a proposal of a method for optimizing electric vehicle journeys with the use of genetic algorithms. The method developed by the authors considers the range of the electric vehicle, the location of the charging stations and the parameters of the slow / fast charging station. Initial verification of the method was carried out on the example of a travel route in Poland, taking into account the actual locations of fast and slow charging stations. The criterion adopted was the minimization of the traveled distance.
