A simulation approach to determine the deployment of an urban network of electric vehicle charging stations for environmental and social benefits
The purpose of this project is to research, design, and implement a computer simulation model to predict the effects of the layout of an urban network of electric vehicle charging stations on the traffic congestion, air-quality, carbon footprint and electric grid usage of a real city. We will build a complete simulation framework, starting by previous work carried out by members of the team that designed and implemented a preliminary simulator (SIMTRAVEL), that allowed us to validate the concept idea over a synthetic test city [1]. This powerful and flexible analysis tool will be made available to municipalities, governments, firms, research groups and universities.
