Community-Aware Charging Station Network Design for Electrified Vehicles in Urban Areas: Reducing Congestion, Emissions, Improving Accessibility and Promoting Walking, Bicycling and Use of Public Transportation
项目名称: Community-Aware Charging Station Network Design for Electrified Vehicles in Urban Areas: Reducing Congestion, Emissions, Improving Accessibility and Promoting Walking, Bicycling and Use of Public Transportation
摘要: This project aims achieving: 1) improved mobility and accessibility for electric vehicle (EV) users and increased adoption for commuters to urban areas, 2) improved livability of urban areas by reduced pollution and noise levels, and 3) improved walkability in urban areas by reduced traffic flows and congestion. These objectives will be achieved through the strategic planning and deployment of charging stations (over multiple years) as well as the design of dynamic incentive mechanisms to subsidize charging costs to reduce the traffic flows and congestion in urban areas. The underlying premise of this achievement is the leveraging the gradual adoption of EVs as well as incentivizing and guiding traffic flows in and out of the urban areas. Accordingly, the project team will explicitly account for the effect of the charging station network design (e.g., number, type and location of charging stations) on such outcomes as the EV driver's range anxiety, walking distance from the station to their temporary destination (e.g. office and restaurant), cost of charging, urban area traffic flows and congestion, livability metrics (e.g., noise levels, greenhouse emissions, walkability). Given the adoption of EV vehicles and projected dominance of EVs in the future, the project team will evaluate the multi-year impact of the charging station network growth on the livability of the urban areas. With multi-year evaluation capability, the project team will develop optimization models to help characterize superior charging station deployment scenarios along with incentive mechanisms to induce the adoption of these scenarios by independent charging station operators. In the incentive framework, the project team will also account for the effects of charging network design on the existing electric utility distribution system and user preferences.
