Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 土木工程學系 === 106 === Environmental pollution is affecting our daily life in recent years and environmental consciousness is more than a slogan. The government and many organizations have developed various initiatives, such as the Green Sustainable Transport Policy, to respond to the rapid changes in the world. Sustainable transport refers to the broad subject of transport that is sustainable in the senses of social, environmental and climatic impacts and the ability to supply the source energy indefinitely. Some companies in Taiwan have been developing sustainable vehicles, such as electric scooters. On the subject of electric scooters, their battery life is a big problem for commuters. Thus, this research focuses on the placement of battery swapping stations and scheduling commuters’ traveling route. It hopes that the result will aid the company in planning a system of battery swapping stations in the future. This research uses time-space network and mathematical programming to construct an electric scooters’ travel route scheduling model based on Taichung City Government. Considering stochastic waiting time in different destinations and all constraints, an optimal schedule is characterized by a minimal total costs, including costs for fixed cost of battery swapping stations and operation cost of electric motorcycles and battery swapping stations. Finally, through sensitivity analysis, we find the connection between the result and parameters. The proposed model and solution method enable us to solve real-world problems. The results can serve as a references for companies to arrange battery swapping system in the future.
