Optimal Design and Implementation of an Open-source Emulation Platform for User-Centric Shared E-mobility Services.
In: 10th International Conference on machine Learning, Optimization and Data science, 22-25 September, 2024, Tuscany, Italy.
Abstract
With the rising concern over transportation emissions and pollution on a global scale, shared electric mobility services like E-cars, E-bikes, and E-scooters have emerged as promising solutions to mitigate these pressing challenges. However, existing shared E-mobility services exhibit critical design deficiencies, including insufficient service integration, imprecise energy consumption forecasting, limited scalability and geographical coverage, and a notable absence of a user-centric perspective, particularly in the context of multi-modal transportation. More
importantly, there is no consolidated open-source platform which could
benefit the E-mobility research community. This paper aims to bridge
this gap by providing an open-source platform for shared E-mobility. The
proposed platform, with an agent-in-the-loop approach and modular architecture, is tailored to diverse user preferences and offers enhanced customization. We demonstrate the viability of this platform by providing a
comprehensive analysis for integrated multi-modal route-optimization in
diverse scenarios of energy availability, user preferences and E-mobility
tools placement for which we use modified Ant Colony Optimization algorithm so called Multi-Model Energy Constrained ACO (MMEC-ACO)
and Q-Learning algorithms. Our findings demonstrate that Q-learning
achieves significantly better performance in terms of travel time cost
for more than 90% of the instances as compared to MMEC-ACO for
different scenarios including energy availability, user preference and Emobility tools distribution. For a fixed (O, D) pair, the average execution
time to achieve optimal time cost solution for MMEC-ACO is less than
2 seconds, while Q-learning reaches an optimal time cost in 20 seconds
on average. For a run-time of 2 seconds, Q-learning still achieves a better optimal time cost with a 20% reduction over MMEC-ACO’s time cost.
