SIMULATION MODELLING OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON Q-LEARNING

The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) represents a pivotal shift towards sustainable mobility, yet the challenge of efficient charging station recommendations persists, influencing user convenience and EV uptake. This study introduces a novel approach utilizing Q-learning for simulating EV charging station recommendations, aiming to optimize the matching process between EVs and charging infrastructure. By integrating Markov decision processes with Q-learning algorithms, we dynamically adapt recommendations to user behaviours and preferences, significantly enhancing recommendation accuracy and personalization. The methodology involves constructing a simulation environment to model EV charging behaviour, evaluating the performance of the Q-learning based recommendation system under various scenarios. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach in identifying optimal charging strategies, thus contributing to improved user satisfaction and charging station utilization. The findings underscore the importance of innovative technological integration for addressing the complexities of sustainable urban mobility.
