Liang, X. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author)In this paper, we propose an optimization model to select the charging locations of an automated electric taxi (AET) system. The service provided by this AET system is a seamless door-to-door service connected to the train station, which helps improve the last mile transport. We individualize the vehicles instead of treating them as a flow to...conference paper 2020
