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.

Synthetic Electric Vehicle Charging Session Generation Using a Conditional Variational Autoencoder

The paper introduces a conditional variational autoencoder (CVAE) to generate synthetic electric vehicle (EV) charging sessions from real transaction-level data. It trains on engineered features such as plug‑in duration, charging duration, delivered energy, charging delay, and cyclical time‑of‑week, conditioning on day of week and managed charging status. Evaluation shows the synthetic data preserves key statistical properties and supports predictive modelling tasks via a Train‑on‑Synthetic‑Test‑on‑Real protocol.

MoRA: Mobility as the Backbone for Geospatial Representation Learning at Scale

MoRA is a human‑centric geospatial representation learning framework that uses a large mobility graph as its backbone to fuse spatial tokenization, graph neural networks, and asymmetric contrastive learning. It aligns over 100 million points of interest, massive remote sensing imagery, and structured demographic data with a billion‑edge mobility graph, producing compact 128‑dimensional embeddings that capture socio‑economic context and functional roles of locations. On a benchmark of nine downstream social and economic prediction tasks, MoRA outperforms state‑of‑the‑art models by an average of 12.9% and demonstrates scaling behavior analogous to large language models.

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.

TraveL: Transformer-based Multi-view Path Distributional Representation Learning

TraveL is a Transformer-based framework that learns distributional representations of road network paths by incorporating traveler behaviors and regional road segment correlations. It encodes a path and its starting time into a distribution, enabling decoding of possible traveler behaviors. Experiments demonstrate that TraveL surpasses state‑of‑the‑art methods on synthetic and real datasets, improving travel time distribution estimation, path similarity prediction, and destination prediction metrics.
