Conditional Diffusion Models for Energy-Efficient Driving

The paper presents a conditional diffusion model that generates electric vehicle battery‑current profiles conditioned on route features such as velocity and ambient temperature. Using a latent conditioning encoder and a temporal 1D U‑Net denoising backbone, the model produces realistic current trajectories that capture both the overall envelope and sharp transient events. On a dataset of 12,000 trips from nine vehicles, the model achieves a Wasserstein distance of 0.0029, outperforming direct condition injection by 89.1% in Wasserstein distance and 52.8% in MAE.

UTP-Bench: Uncertainty-aware Travel Planning Benchmark

UTP‑Bench is a new benchmark that evaluates large language models on uncertainty‑aware travel planning, incorporating real‑world data from 504 Indian cities and empirical delay and crowd patterns. It introduces three metrics—Buffer Adequacy Score, Crowd‑Aware Timing Score, and Transport Delay Absorption Score—to measure how well generated itineraries remain robust under stochastic conditions. Experiments show that current LLMs lag behind human planners in buffering, delay‑aware scheduling, and crowd sensitivity.

UTP-Bench: Uncertainty-aware Travel Planning Benchmark

UTP-Bench is a new benchmark for uncertainty-aware travel planning that evaluates large language models on their ability to generate robust itineraries under real-world stochastic conditions. The dataset covers 504 Indian cities, incorporating attractions, restaurants, accommodations, and multi-modal transportation networks, and includes empirical delay distributions and crowd-density patterns to simulate realistic disruptions. Three new metrics—Buffer Adequacy Score, Crowd-Aware Timing Score, and Transport Delay Absorption Score—measure how well generated plans maintain robustness against transit delays and crowd variability, revealing significant gaps between state-of-the-art LLMs and human-authored itineraries.

EVTradeMatch: A Mobility-Aware Multi-Objective Matching Framework for EV--EV Energy Trading

EVTradeMatch is a mobility-aware, multi-objective matching framework that coordinates peer-to-peer energy trading between electric vehicles (EVs). It uses a prediction-guided score for charging-node suitability and formulates the matching problem as a mixed-integer linear program, solved via a tailored NSGA-II algorithm. Experiments show significant gains in transferred energy, charging-node suitability, and matching coverage compared to existing proximity- and auction-based methods.

Electric Vehicle Charging Station Location Selection using Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI)

The paper presents a GeoAI framework that uses a variational autoencoder and a graph convolutional network to analyze high‑dimensional geospatial data for electric vehicle charging station location selection. By compressing EV usage, land‑use, population, and traffic attributes into a latent space, the model predicts suitable future station sites and identifies 27 new candidates in Bryan‑College Station, Texas. Two policy scenarios—maximizing geospatial similarity versus minimizing travel distance—demonstrate how different strategic objectives influence station placement outcomes.
