Table 5 Case#1 network parameters.

From: Electric vehicles charging station allocation based on load profile forecasting and Dijkstra’s algorithm for optimal path planning

Parameter

Value

Comment

Total number of nodes

15

This number represents a small-scale road network

Number of CSs

3

Deliberately selected in correlation with the network size

Number of vehicles

5

Number of vehicles in charging shortage

Maximum weight for edges (distance or travel time)

25

Deliberately selected to represent the travel time or distance between two adjacent nodes

Proportion of edges to remove

0.5

To prevent a fully connected network and simulate as accurately as possible a real network, some edges were removed. More this value is high, more the network is sparse
