A Microscopic Approach for Electric Vehicle Demand Estimation

This study aims to produce a realistic and high-resolution public charging simulation environment and provide practical guidance for future charging station deployment. There are three specific objectives to achieve this goal: (1) the research team will build an agent-based model to model the daily activities of all drivers within a study region; (2) the team will estimate electric vehicle (EV) user distributions and charging demand based on socioeconomic attributes and public charging decision rules; and (3) the team will develop an optimization framework based on the estimated public charging demand to efficient solve the EVSE allocation problem, in an effort to maximize the coverage of total charging demands under investment costs and load capacity constraints.
