Abstract
The electric vehicle (EV) is a key factor in achieving building smart cities. In this study, long-distance delivery route planning is performed with a commercial EV including the arrangement of charging stations. The EV delivers some goods through the motorway for approximately 500-700 km. The EV is recharged at a service or parking area on the motorway by a recharging station if it cannot travel to the next one. Two delivery patterns are considered so that the EV is required to activities at a distribution point. The shortest path is calculated using the Dijkstra method. Three performance indexes are considered. The EV should recharge four or five times during its delivery activity, leading to a longer delivery time. However, carbon dioxide emissions and delivery activity costs are lower than gasoline vehicles. This result indicates that the EV is a powerful tool to achieve smart cities for long-distance delivery.
