Service assignment decision support of one-way carsharing in wireless charging road network

Abstract

Once wireless charging lanes are commercialized, vehicles can be charged during the dispatch process, which is of great value to the electrification of one-way car-sharing fleet. In the city road network occupied with wireless charging lanes, service order arrangement of a car tends to select stations to make full use of the dispatch process for charging and improve the efficiency of vehicle circulation. The combination of wireless charging lanes and site charging provides a new perspective for service decision-making: scheduling from different alternative sites to sites lack of cars causes different power consumption or increase, charging costs, and travel time. Decision makers need to weigh these factors in order to get more profit, which puts forward new requirements for the service connection and dispatch of one-way shared cars.
