We suggest a hybrid quantum-classical routine for the NP-hard Electric Vehicle Fleet Charging and Allocation Problem. The original formulation is a Mixed Integer Linear Program with continuous variables and inequality constraints. To…
In this paper, a static non-cooperative game formulation of the problem of distributed charging in electrical vehicle (EV) networks is proposed. This formulation allows one to model the interaction between several EV which are connected to…
Electric Vehicles (EVs) are emerging as battery energy storage systems (BESSs) of increasing importance for different power grid services. However, the unique characteristics of EVs makes them more difficult to operate than dedicated BESSs.…
We introduce a new problem in the domain of mobile robots, which we term dispersion. In this problem, $n$ robots are placed in an $n$ node graph arbitrarily and must coordinate with each other to reach a final configuration such that…
The disordered charging of electric vehicles (EVs) in residential areas leads to a rapid increase of the peak load, causing transformer overload, but the charging control of EV group can effectively alleviate this phenomenon. However,…
With the increase in adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs), proper utilization of the charging infrastructure is an emerging challenge for service providers. Overstaying of an EV after a charging event is a key contributor to low utilization.…
Dynamic ride-sharing services, including ride-pooling offered by ride-hailing platforms and demand-responsive buses, have become an essential part of urban mobility systems. These services cater to personalized and on-demand mobility…
Electric vehicles (EVs) equipped with a bidirectional charger can provide valuable grid services as mobile energy storage. However, proper financial incentives need to be in place to enlist EV drivers to provide services to the grid. In…
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) manufacture, inventory and transport new vehicles to franchised dealers. These franchised dealers inventory and sell new vehicles to end users. OEMs rely on logistics companies with a special type of…
