Abstract
A computer-implemented method for managing a fleet of electric vehicles includes a fleet management computing system selecting an optimal vehicle fleet size and a plurality of discharging parking lot locations based on (i) historical electrical energy consumption for a geographic area and (ii) historical traffic flow though the geographic area during one or more time periods of interest. The fleet management computing system collects transportation demand data from a plurality of users comprising requests for transportation to locations within the geographic area and uses (i) the optimal vehicle fleet size, (ii) the plurality of discharging parking lot locations, and (iii) the transportation demand data to select routing information for each of a plurality of electric vehicles. Then, the fleet management computing system routes each respective autonomous vehicle according to its respective routing information.
