Electric Vehicle Charging Station Location Selection using Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI)

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.30417v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As electric vehicle (EV) adoption increases, ensuring efficient and well-distributed charging infrastructure has become a critical challenge. While many EV charging station location problem (CSLP) studies focus on minimizing costs or travel distance, it is crucial to consider the surrounding geospatial characteristics of existing stations that influence operational performance. This study proposes a geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI)-based framework that integrates high-dimensional EV-related geospatial data, including EV usage, land-use, population, and traffic attributes. We incorporate a variational autoencoder (VAE) and a graph convolutional network (GCN) into the model to capture similarities among existing charging stations, and
