Combinatorial optimization for electric vehicles management

Growing concerns about environmental quality of cities are calling for sustainable road transportation technologies. Electric Vehicles (EV), for public and private transport, can contribute significantly to the lowering of the current pollution levels. However, the EV use is currently facing several weaknesses among which are: limited driving range, high cost and overall limited efficiency. This paper aims at specifying some key contributions of combinatorial optimization for an efficient electric vehicles management.
