Modeling and simulation of charging characteristics of electric vehicle group under the mode of autonomous driving‐shared travel

Abstract

Compared with the traditional travel mode, the increasingly mature autonomous driving and shared travel technologies can lead to a higher driving utilization rate and lower car parc; however, at the same time, they will bring unknown impacts to the trans‐energy system. As a new generation of vehicles, the behavior of electric vehicles will also be affected. This paper describes and models the behavior of electric vehicle group in the autonomous driving‐shared travel mode in detail, and uses the multi‐agent technology to establish a large‐scale electric vehicle group simulation model. This model fully considers the constraints of traffic network and charging station and the influence of fuel vehicles, which can simulate the actual scene well and be used to study the charging behavior of electric vehicle group. Finally, the simulation model is used to obtain the charging load curve of the electric vehicle group under the new travel mode and analyze the influence of travel upgrade and network topology on charging load.
