Integrated Operation Model for Shared Mobility-on-Demand System and Battery Swapping Station

The shared mobility on demand electric vehicle system provides an alternative solution for sustainable, customer-orientated and economical transportation system. Meanwhile, battery swapping system could become a promising means for fast energy refill of shared mobility on demand fleet due to its unique operational characteristics. In this paper, a combined operation scheme for shared mobility-on-demand fleets and BSCS is formulated. The interaction between the mobility-on-demand system and the BSCS is modeled by the swapping demand. Specifically, swapping demand is determined in the real time scheduling problem for fleet operator and introduced as constants in the BSCS problem. The optimization problem is formulated as mixed-integer linear programming model and numerical case simulation experiments based on real-world data are provided. The case study results demonstrate the effectiveness of this proposed integrated operation model.
