Abstract
SummaryShared transportation is a new way of traveling generated by the rapid development of the “Internet +” and the sharing economy. Due to the limited energy carried by shared e‐bikes, the energy problem becomes the primary obstacle restricting its development. At present, one way to solve the energy problem is to use mobile charging vehicles (MCVs). However, how to schedule MCVs to achieve fast response, reduce energy consumption, and improve charging efficiency is crucial. In this paper, we propose a Charging Scheduling scheme based on Dynamic Characteristic of shared e‐bike in Obstacle Space (CSDC‐OS). Firstly, we design two MCV departure mechanisms to solve the problems of low utilization of MCVs and long waiting time for shared e‐bikes. Then, we design the schedulability conditions based on the A‐star algorithm and the dynamic change of e‐bikes to ensure that MCVs can return to the service station in time. Finally, we propose a charging sequence algorithm based on linear skyline query and a selective insertion algorithm to improve the charging efficiency of MCVs. Simulation results show that the CSDC‐OS can improve the response time, mobile consumption, and charging efficiency by more than 8% on average.
