US 2025/0018822 A1 · MANAGING CHARGING STATIONS BASED ON USAGE DATA

Abstract

The present disclosure related to a management of a plurality of charging stations utilizing collected usage data. A network service receives and maintains correlated charging station use data as time series data. The time series data corresponds to a defined time window in which individual time intervals may be characterized as use or non-use of the charging station. The non-use can be identified and compared to thresholds of non-use associated with charging stations that are characterized as operational. If an individual time interval of non-use exceeds a threshold, the individual unit may be considered operational but not available for service. More specifically, the network service determines whether any particular instance of sequential non-use corresponds to a statistically significant deviation of established periods of non-use. If such a deviation occurs, the consecutive period of non-use can be considered to be indicative of an unavailability of the charging station.

Dependent claims

A system for managing charging stations, the system comprising:

one or more computing processors and memories for executing computer-executable instructions to implement a charging station data service, wherein the charging station data service is configured to:
receive charging station usage information from at least one charging station site, wherein the charging station site include a plurality of charging stations;
determine a trigger event corresponding to the charging station site;
in response to determining the trigger event, obtain a historical session criteria for the plurality of charging stations corresponding to the trigger event;
obtain current time series data associated with the plurality of charging stations;
identify periods of non-use within the current time series data;
in response to determining that the identified periods of non-use within the current time series data exceeds the historical session criteria, characterize one or more periods of non-use as indicative of an unavailable of at least one charging station of the plurality of charging stations;
and
validate the characterization of the unavailable charging station.
