Abstract

The police aim for using electric vehicles within the criminal investigation service. However, the challenges related to the use of electric vehicles result in a limited availability of these vehicles. Until now, decision support for fleet operation with electric vehicles at the police is missing. This contribution introduces an extension of the Electric Vehicle Scheduling Problem for the police.
