This paper firstly proposesa method for modeling charging/swapping load distribution of electric taxi. With this method , Monte Carlo Method and Dijkstra Algorithm are adopted to simulate the electric taxi's operation behavior based on the analysis of its operation characteristics. Then facility optimization model is proposed to minimize the life circle cost (LCC) of charging/swapping facilities and the time value of electric taxi under the constraints of queuing model and the price spread between oil and electricity. Finally, a practical example is carried out to demonstrate the performance of the modeling method and facility optimization model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
