Abstract

Route planning applications designed for electric vehicles have to consider a number of additional constraints. With the limited range and comparatively long charging times, it is of utmost importance to consider energy consumption in routing applications. However, recently published algorithmic approaches for electric vehicle routing focus solely on specific aspects of this problem, such as optimizing energy consumption as single criterion. In this work, we present first steps towards a holistic framework for computing shortest paths for electric vehicles with limited range. This includes the possibility of driving instructions, such as driving speed adjustments to save energy, realistic modeling of battery charging procedures, and the integration of turn costs.
