Sebastian Bobeth,Ingo Kastner +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relevance of different motives in an online questionnaire with n = 220 members of German households interested in buying a new car, and tested three action models to explain adoption intention: an adjusted technology acceptance model, an adjusted norm activation model, and an integrative model with predictors from both models.
An Exact Algorithm for the Electric-Vehicle Routing Problem
TL;DR: The goal of this study is to develop an algorithm that minimizes the total travel and charging times without approximation of the charging time function and develops the branch-and-price method on the extended charging station network to solve the problem to optimality.
