Abstract

Electric Vehicles (EVs) have been identified as the current innovation for sustainable mobility that reduces carbon emissions and pollution. The transition to electric mobility is accelerating, and this means that services and infrastructures must be ready to support the impact of such a change. Smart applications can leverage this transition contributing to a seamless integration of the expected increase of new energy loads into the electric grid assisting users’ behaviour. At the same time, they must comply with the strict regulations in terms of privacy and deal with limited users’ acceptance. In this context, we propose a Policy-Based Reinforcement Learning agent-based route planner that is able to suggest a route to a driver who starts from a location A traveling to a location B minimizing the number of re-charge sessions along the journey.
