Abstract Summary
In this work, we develop different scenarios regarding the initiatives and incentives to foster the use of electric vehicles (EVs) and test the different results on an optimal allocation tool for charging stations (ETCharger [1]) in The Hague city, the Netherlands. This is a sub-task from project ELECTRIC TRAVELLING [2]. Firstly, we overview the initiatives and incentives that have been implemented to foster the use of EVs in different regions in Europe [3] and analyzes the incentives that will be used in the implementation of the project to foster electromobility (e-mobility) in smart cities. Then the database of the city The Hague including existing transport network, and transport infrastructure parameters, especially the ones related to e-mobility etc., are introduced in order to apply the proposed tool to the case study. Based on the analysis focused on the incentives, we develop different scenarios of the transport system and use them to allocate charging stations. A comparison is done between different scenarios to select the optimal station locations according to the main goal of the project: foster increase the number of travellers by using EVs.
