Electric vehicles are crucial for transitioning to low-carbon transportation, but concerns over range and charging station locations hinder full adoption. A multi-criteria decision-making method using interval type-2 fuzzy sets and Simulated Annealing can help select optimal charging station sites. This approach improves model reliability and effectiveness in capturing uncertainties for better decision-making.
Electric vehicles are the key to facilitating the transition to low-carbon 'green' transport. However, there are concerns with their range and the location of the charging stations which delay a full-fledged adoption of their use. Hence, the electric charging infrastructure in a given region is critical to mitigating those concerns. In this study, an interval type-2 fuzzy set based multi-criteria decision-making method is introduced for selecting the best location for electric charging stations. This method is improved by Simulated Annealing obtaining the best configuration of the parameters of the interval type-2 membership functions along with two different aggregation operators; linguistic weighted sum and average. The proposed overall reusable multi-stage solution approach is applied to a real-world public transport problem of the municipal bus company in Istanbul. The results indicate that the approach indeed improves the model, capturing the associated uncertainties embedded in the interval type-2 membership functions better, leading to a more effective fuzzy system. The experts confirm those observations and that Simulated Annealing improved interval type-2 fuzzy method achieves more reliable results for selecting the best sites for the electric bus charging stations.
