Abstract
A system, method and program product for siting charging stations. A mobility detection module collects traffic data from vehicle sensors distributed in an area. A map matching module maps detected traffic in the area. A vehicle flow module temporally characterizes mapped traffic flow. An electric vehicle (EV) requirements (EVR) evaluator determines an optimal number of charging stations and respective locations for siting the charging stations.
