The transport sector is undergoing a rapid shift towards electrification to reduce CO2 emissions, especially within freight transport. This PhD position focuses on developing optimization models and algorithms to improve route planning and energy efficiency in electrified transport networks.
Research areas include:
Route optimization, considering factors like load, topography, and charging opportunities.
Charging infrastructure and energy management to optimize the location and scheduling of charging stations.
Data analysis and simulation of transport scenarios based on traffic and vehicle data.
