SPAP: Simultaneous Demand Prediction and Planning for Electric Vehicle Chargers in a New City [PDF]
For a new city that is committed to promoting Electric Vehicles (EVs), it is significant to plan the public charging infrastructure where charging demands are high. However, it is difficult to predict charging demands before the actual deployment of EV chargers for lack of operational data, resulting in a deadlock.

The Price of Symmetric Line Plans in the Parametric City [PDF]
We consider the line planning problem in public transport in the Parametric City, an idealized model that captures typical scenarios by a (small) number of parameters. The Parametric City is rotation symmetric, but optimal line plans are not always symmetric.
