Modeling for electric taxi load and optimization model for charging/swapping facilities of electric taxi

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.
