Title: A Smart IoT-Enabled Recommender System for Electric Vehicle Charging Optimization
Xavier Fernando et.al.
Abstract: Electric Vehicles (EVs) present a promising solution to environmental concerns, yet the challenge of energy efficiency persists, necessitating further research. A major obstacle is the insufficient EV charging infrastructure, hindering EV adoption. To address this, deploying adequate infrastructure with suitable charging stations (CS) is crucial for improved connectivity. Real-time access to information about charging station availability, proximity, and wait times is essential. This study explores leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT) for sensor deployment and data transmission to provide timely insights into charging station status. Strategic sensor placement enables predictive analytics for optimizing server access, vehicle scheduling, and reducing wait times. Additionally, a recommender system aids users in locating charging stations with shorter wait times and lower costs. Privacy concerns are addressed through robust privacy protection measures, ensuring secure EV information exchange between charging stations and user locations via routing protocols. Simulation using MATLAB 2020a and cloud-based data storage facilitate validation of the proposed model's efficacy. Metrics such as electricity cost, charging infrastructure utilization, energy optimization, and vehicle charging costs are assessed to validate the model's performance. In summary, this research aims to overcome barriers to EV adoption by integrating IoT technologies, data analytics, and privacy measures to optimize charging infrastructure and enhance the user experience.
