| description | Electric vehicles (EVs) present a promising solution to mitigate emissions from the
transportation system, while battery swapping technology is proven to be an EV refuelling
mode that acquires a much shorter recharge time compared with plug-in charging. This thesis
addresses the morning commuter problem within an EV corridor equipped with a battery
swapping station. EV travellers are categorized by their travel mode: driving through the
corridor, driving with one-time battery swapping, and taking the transit line. We model this
scenario using a Y-shaped bottleneck congestion framework, treating the swapping station as
an upstream bottleneck. This study identifies how bottleneck capacity and demand ratios
influence the commuter travel patterns at departure time equilibrium, classifying these
patterns into two main scenarios and five subcases, each with corresponding commuter cost
functions. Using these cost functions, we develop two optimization models aimed at 1)
determining the optimal service prices of battery swapping operations and 2) jointly
optimizing the capacity and service price of the battery swapping station. Numerical
experiments validate the proposed operation pricing and investment strategies, ensuring the
optimal performance and profitability of the battery swapping station. |
