Locating charging points for an electric fleet
نویسندگان
چکیده
Centrale OO is a pioneering project aiming to deploy in Paris a fleet of 100 % electric taxis. The significant initial investment and the current restricted vehicle autonomy give a high relevancy to the charging terminal location task. This task can be seen as a variant of the well-known capacitated covering location problem (CCLP). A mixed integer programming model suiting the features of the project is proposed. Its originality lies in the way a punctual demand is built to satisfy the usual requirements of such models, whereas the true demand in the project is attached to moving vehicles. The efficiency of the proposed model has been compared by simulation with other more classical approaches on different sets of randomly generated instances.
