Abstract
An apparatus, a method, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for providing strategies for charging vehicles is provided. For example, the apparatus obtains, using a map database, traffic congestion information on a road segment, predicts a traffic congestion status on the road segment based on the traffic congestion information, generates an objective function based on the traffic congestion status, computes a solution of the objective function using an integer programming or a linear programming, generates a recommendation based on the solution, and outputs the recommendation.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one non-transitory memory including computer program code instructions, the computer program code instructions configured to, when executed, cause the apparatus to:
- obtain, using a map database, traffic congestion information on a road segment;
- predict a traffic congestion status on the road segment based on the traffic congestion information;
- generate an objective function based on the traffic congestion status;
- compute a solution of the objective function using an integer programming or a linear programming;
- generate a recommendation based on the solution;
- and
- output the recommendation.
A method comprising:
- obtaining, using a map database, traffic congestion information on a road segment;
- predicting a traffic congestion status on the road segment based on the traffic congestion information;
- obtaining one or more attributes associated with a set of charging points, the one or more attributes comprising one or more road attributes associated with the set of charging points;
- generating, based on the one or more attributes and the predicted traffic congestion status, a recommendation for charging a vehicle at a charging point among the set of charging points;
- and
- outputting the recommendation.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer program code instructions stored therein, the computer program code instructions, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- obtain a route to a destination;
- obtain a set of parameters comprising road segment parameters indicating one or more road attributes of one or more road segments of the route;
- cause a machine learning (ML) model to output a prediction indicative of a vehicle traversing the route to reach the destination as a function of the set of parameters;
- and
- generate a recommendation for charging the vehicle based on the prediction.
