Deep Spatio-Temporal Forecasting of Electrical Vehicle Charging Demand
Electric vehicles can offer a low carbon emission solution to reverse rising
emission trends. However, this requires that the energy used to meet the demand
is green. To meet this requirement, accurate forecasting of the charging demand
is vital. Short and long-term charging demand forecasting will allow for better
optimisation of the power grid and future infrastructure expansions. In this
paper, we propose to use publicly available data to forecast the electric
vehicle charging demand. To model the complex spatial-temporal correlations
between charging stations, we argue that Temporal Graph Convolution Models are
the most suitable to capture the correlations. The proposed Temporal Graph
Convolutional Networks provide the most accurate forecasts for short and
long-term forecasting compared with other forecasting methods
Spatial data science for sustainable mobility
The constant rise of urban mobility and transport has led to a dramatic increase in greenhouse gas emissions. In order to ensure livable environments for future generations and counteract climate change, it will be necessary to reduce our future CO2 footprint. Spatial data science contributes to this effort in major ways, also fuelled by recent progress regarding the availability of spatial big data, computational methods and geospatial technologies. This paper demonstrates important contributions from Spatial data science to mobility pattern analysis and prediction, context integration, and the employment of geospatial technologies for changing people\u27s mobility behavior. Among the interdisciplinary research challenges that lie ahead of us are an enhanced public availability of mobility studies and their data sets, improved privacy protection strategies, spatially-aware machine learning methods, and evaluating the potential for people\u27s long-term behavior change towards sustainable mobility
A physics-informed and attention-based graph learning approach for regional electric vehicle charging demand prediction
Along with the proliferation of electric vehicles (EVs), optimizing the use
of EV charging space can significantly alleviate the growing load on
intelligent transportation systems. As the foundation to achieve such an
optimization, a spatiotemporal method for EV charging demand prediction in
urban areas is required. Although several solutions have been proposed by using
data-driven deep learning methods, it can be found that these
performance-oriented methods may suffer from misinterpretations to correctly
handle the reverse relationship between charging demands and prices. To tackle
the emerging challenges of training an accurate and interpretable prediction
model, this paper proposes a novel approach that enables the integration of
graph and temporal attention mechanisms for feature extraction and the usage of
physic-informed meta-learning in the model pre-training step for knowledge
transfer. Evaluation results on a dataset of 18,013 EV charging piles in
Shenzhen, China, show that the proposed approach, named PAG, can achieve
state-of-the-art forecasting performance and the ability in understanding the
adaptive changes in charging demands caused by price fluctuations.Comment: Preprint. This work has been submitted to the IEEE Transactions on

Detection of Lying Electrical Vehicles in Charging Coordination Application Using Deep Learning
The simultaneous charging of many electric vehicles (EVs) stresses the
distribution system and may cause grid instability in severe cases. The best
way to avoid this problem is by charging coordination. The idea is that the EVs
should report data (such as state-of-charge (SoC) of the battery) to run a
mechanism to prioritize the charging requests and select the EVs that should
charge during this time slot and defer other requests to future time slots.
However, EVs may lie and send false data to receive high charging priority
illegally. In this paper, we first study this attack to evaluate the gains of
the lying EVs and how their behavior impacts the honest EVs and the performance
of charging coordination mechanism. Our evaluations indicate that lying EVs
have a greater chance to get charged comparing to honest EVs and they degrade
the performance of the charging coordination mechanism. Then, an anomaly based
detector that is using deep neural networks (DNN) is devised to identify the
lying EVs. To do that, we first create an honest dataset for charging
coordination application using real driving traces and information revealed by
EV manufacturers, and then we also propose a number of attacks to create
malicious data. We trained and evaluated two models, which are the multi-layer
perceptron (MLP) and the gated recurrent unit (GRU) using this dataset and the
GRU detector gives better results. Our evaluations indicate that our detector
can detect lying EVs with high accuracy and low false positive rate
How machine learning informs ride-hailing services: A survey
In recent years, online ride-hailing services have emerged as an important component of urban transportation system, which not only provide significant ease for residents’ travel activities, but also shape new travel behavior and diversify urban mobility patterns. This study provides a thorough review of machine-learning-based methodologies for on-demand ride-hailing services. The importance of on-demand ride-hailing services in the spatio-temporal dynamics of urban traffic is first highlighted, with machine-learning-based macro-level ride-hailing research demonstrating its value in guiding the design, planning, operation, and control of urban intelligent transportation systems. Then, the research on travel behavior from the perspective of individual mobility patterns, including carpooling behavior and modal choice behavior, is summarized. In addition, existing studies on order matching and vehicle dispatching strategies, which are among the most important components of on-line ride-hailing systems, are collected and summarized. Finally, some of the critical challenges and opportunities in ride-hailing services are discussed
