Abstract [en]

In this work, we address the problem of charging coordination between electric trucks and charging stations. The problem arises from the tension between the trucks’ nontrivial charging times and the stations’ limited charging facilities. Our goal is to reduce the trucks’ waiting times at the stations while minimizing individual trucks’ operational costs. We propose a distributed coordination framework that relies on computation and communication between the stations and the trucks, and handles uncertainties in travel times and energy consumption. Within the framework, the stations assign a limited number of charging ports to trucks according to the first-come, first-served rule. In addition, each station constructs a waiting time forecast model based on its historical data and provides its estimated waiting times to trucks upon request. When approaching a station, a truck sends its arrival time and estimated arrival-time windows to the nearby station and the distant stations, respectively. The truck then receives the estimated waiting times from these stations in response, and updates its charging plan accordingly while accounting for travel uncertainties. We performed simulation studies for 1,000 trucks traversing the Swedish road network for 40 days, using realistic traffic data with travel uncertainties. The results show that our method reduces the average waiting time of the trucks by 46.1% compared to offline charging plans computed by the trucks without coordination and update, and by 33.8% compared to the coordination scheme assuming zero waiting times at distant stations.
