A Distributionally Robust Reinforcement Learning Framework for Constrained Urban EV Dispatch

arXiv:2604. 25848v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study city-scale control of electric-vehicle (EV) ride-hailing fleets where dispatch, repositioning, and charging decisions must respect charger and feeder limits under uncertain, spatially correlated demand and travel times.

Emergent Charging Coordination in Electric Delivery Fleets

arXiv:2609.07689v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In electric delivery fleets, mid-shift charging is non-trivial: each vehicle must decide when, where and how much to charge to finish on time with batt...

Learning Chance-Constrained MDPs with Bellman Distributional Certificates

The paper introduces a new approach to learning chance-constrained Markov decision processes (CCMDPs) using a Bellman distributional certificate. It provides both model-based and model-free algorithms with theoretical guarantees, including matching upper and lower bounds for tabular discounted CCMDPs with bounded successor support. Numerical experiments on synthetic CCMDPs and an IEEE 14-bus energy storage benchmark demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the proposed methods.
