Inter-regional Charging Scheduling Scheme for Electric Taxis Based on Batch Scheduling Methods

Electric taxis are becoming increasingly popular in cities due to their economic and environmental benefits. However, they still face several challenges. This paper proposes an inter-regional charging scheduling scheme for electric taxis. The scheme takes into account different electricity prices and passenger demand data in urban and suburban areas, allowing electric taxis to adopt an appropriate schedule. The proposed scheme aims to maximize the revenues of electric taxi drivers by reducing idle driving frequency and lowering charging costs. The simulation results demonstrate its effectiveness.
