Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is expected to utilize electric vehicles in the field of logistics and delivery. In order to secure the necessary electric power and make effective use of electric power, it is important to consider new factors such as fluctuations in electricity rates and power supply restrictions.
We have considered a mathematical planning model for a delivery plan by multiple electric vehicles that realizes overall optimization. In the situation where the price of the supply electricity fluctuates, it is desirable to link the operation plan of the electric vehicle and the utilization plan of the electric power in order to reduce the total cost. Considering the price fluctuation on the supply side of energy, we made a mixed integer planning model for planning the demand side operation plan and realized an efficient delivery work plan.
