Two-stage battery recharge scheduling and vehicle-charger assignment policy for dynamic electric dial-a-ride services.

Coordinating the charging scheduling of electric vehicles for dynamic dial-a-ride services is challenging considering charging queuing delays and stochastic customer demand. We propose a new two-stage solution approach to handle dynamic vehicle charging scheduling to minimize the costs of daily char...
