Optimizing Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure: A Site Selection Strategy for Ludhiana, India
Journal Title: Mechatronics and Intelligent Transportation Systems - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
This study investigates the spatial distribution and potential expansion of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in Ludhiana, India, with a focus on optimizing site selection to accommodate increasing demand. A multi-criteria framework was employed, incorporating traffic volume, demographic data, and usage patterns of existing charging stations to identify high-priority locations. Central commercial zones, including Ghumar Mandi, Feroze Gandhi Market, ISBT Ludhiana, and Ludhiana Railway Station, were found to exhibit significant traffic density and high EV ownership rates, making them prime candidates for the establishment of new charging stations. Spatial analysis, including heat maps, bar graphs, and pie charts, was used to visualize these key areas, revealing critical patterns in demand and facilitating the strategic targeting of infrastructure expansion. Community engagement was emphasized as an essential component in ensuring that infrastructure development aligns with user needs and preferences. The study further highlighted the importance of accessibility, economic viability, and sustainability as pivotal criteria for site selection. The findings offer valuable insights for urban planners and policymakers, supporting the development of a robust EV charging network that contributes to the advancement of sustainable urban mobility and the reduction of carbon emissions in Ludhiana. These results provide a basis for informed decision-making in the design of EV infrastructure, guiding the city's efforts towards an eco-friendly, future-ready transportation system.
