Network optimization and platform pricing in coupled energy and transportation systems
ESD Research Seminar by Ding Yanyan – This study examines shared electric vehicles (SEVs) providing transport and discharging services via a ride-sourcing platform.
Human in the loop automation: ride-hailing with remote (tele-) drivers
ESD Research Seminar by Xiaotang Yang – Using a spatial queueing model that captures the dynamics of pick up and trip times, this seminar will show that when workload is sufficiently high (relative to the number of vehicles), perhaps surprisingly, reducing the number of drivers relative to the number of vehicles can improve service level.
Integrating EV charging and discharging into power grid through bilateral negotiation
ESD Research Seminar by Yun Fong Lim – To deal with demand uncertainty on a power grid, a power plant with limited ramping capability can collaborate with an electric vehicle (EV) company. With proper charging and discharging prices, the EV company voluntarily withdraws electricity from or returns electricity to the power grid in suitable phases.
