TLDR
In this paper, the authors formulated the optimal location of alternative fuel stations under two main assumptions: the capacity of AFSs is limited and each AFS can only serve a number of vehicles up to its capacity, and drivers may have to deviate from their pre-determined shortest path to get refueling services.Abstract:
At the beginning of the period of transition from petroleum-based fuels to alternative green fuels, determining the optimal location of alternative fuel stations (AFSs) would be an important task This paper addresses this issue under two main assumptions First, the capacity of AFSs is limited and each AFS can only serve a number of vehicles up to its capacity Second, drivers may have to deviate from their pre-determined shortest path to get refueling services This problem is formulated as a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model and a heuristic algorithm is developed to solve it The heuristic method involves solving small and easy to solve linear programing (LP) models, embedded within a greedy approach, and hence, it requires an LP software Although the proposed MILP model requires that the set of deviation paths be pregenerated with respect to the maximum tolerated deviation distance, the heuristic uses only a restricted set of such paths The performance of the proposed model and algorithm is evaluated on some randomly generated instancesread more

Integrated optimization model for hydrogen supply chain network design and hydrogen fueling station planning
TL;DR: The proposed model considers the feedstock supply, the installation and operation of hydrogen facilities, the operation of transportation technologies, and the carbon capture and storage system, which minimizes the least cost of hydrogen (LCOH).

How many fast-charging stations do we need along European highways?
TL;DR: In this paper, the minimum number of required fast-charging stations along the European highway network of selected countries (i.e., France, Germany, the Benelux countries, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, the Czech Republic, and Poland) is estimated.

Increasing electric vehicle adoption through the optimal deployment of fast-charging stations for local and long-distance travel
TL;DR: This work proposes a rolling horizon-based heuristic that efficiently provides provably good solutions to instances based on much larger territories than those tackled by the methods proposed in the literature for the location of EV charging stations.

Location-Allocation of Electric Vehicle Fast Chargers—Research and Practice
TL;DR: A comparative analysis of academic research on location-allocation of electric vehicle fast chargers into the pattern of the actual fast-charger allocation in the United States shows evidence that the node-serving approach is, in fact, applied in the actual location- allocation of fast charging stations.

A Model for Location of Capacitated Alternative-Fuel Stations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce the capacitated flow refueling location model that limits the number of vehicles refueled at each station, and a modified objective function maximizing vehicle-miles traveled instead of trips.
