[0035] In step three of the embodiment, the main problem in the freeway multi-period traffic assignment model is to conduct the space-time flow distribution in the entire traffic network, and the objective function (1) is to minimize the total travel cost of all EV users under the user equilibrium condition; formula (2) calculates the total travel cost, including the freeway link travel time cost, service area charging station queuing waiting time cost and charging fee cost; formula (3) is the user equilibrium condition; (1) (2) (3) Wherein, is the minimum travel cost of OD pair ; is the travel demand of OD pair ; is the total travel cost of OD pair on the extended space-time path , including travel time, queuing time and charging fee; is the conversion coefficient of “time-cost”; and respectively represent the traffic flow on road d and the queuing number of charging station k in period t; and are the corresponding travel time and queuing time respectively; the indication and are used to represent the association of path and charging station / road; and are the fast charging price and fast charging quantity respectively; is the traffic flow of OD pair on the extended space-time path ; is the set of feasible extended paths of OD pair ; is the set of OD pairs.

[0039] Example 2 like Figure 1 As shown, the highway charging load simulation method based on multi-time period traffic equilibrium provided by the present invention includes the following steps: Step 1: Obtain highway network topology parameters, charging station distribution parameters, user travel origin and destination demand data, and electric vehicle battery parameters.
[0040] This embodiment constructs a ring-shaped highway corridor network consisting of 8 nodes for simulation research, such as... Figure 2 As shown in the diagram, each adjacent node is bidirectionally connected, and the network comprises 16 directed road segments. To refine the simulation of load fluctuations, a 24-hour day is divided into 96 discrete time periods, each with a time step of 15 minutes. Charging infrastructure is deployed at four even-numbered nodes on the ring road (nodes 2, 4, 6, and 8), each equipped with 20 DC fast charging piles, each with a rated power of 180kW. On the demand side, a typical day is designed with 30 origin-destination (OD) pairs, resulting in a total travel demand of 3480 trips. Electric vehicle users follow random departure times and generate charging demand when their battery power is low.
[0041] Step 2: In view of the characteristics of long distances and large travel time spans of highways, a multi-time spatiotemporal network model of highways is established. The spatial nodes of the original traffic network are extended along the time dimension to construct a spatiotemporal topology structure that includes spatiotemporal travel arcs and virtual stop arcs.
[0042] Based on the spatial topology of the transportation network, it is expanded into a spatiotemporal transportation network diagram, such as... Figure 3 As shown in the diagram. Solid lines represent extension roads connecting extension nodes within the same time period, while dashed lines represent extension roads connecting extension nodes at different time periods. The longitude-latitude coordinates in the diagram jointly describe the spatial characteristics of the transportation network, while the time period coordinates describe the temporal characteristics of the transportation network. That is, the transportation network described by the longitude-latitude coordinates at any given time period is the... Figure 2 The original transportation network topology is shown.
[0043] Step 3: Based on the principle of traffic equilibrium, construct a multi-time traffic assignment model for highways that includes a main problem and sub-problems. The main problem is to allocate spatiotemporal traffic with the goal of minimizing the total travel cost for all users. The sub-problems are to solve for the optimal spatiotemporal path for a single vehicle under given traffic conditions, taking into account mileage anxiety.
[0044] In this step, a bi-level optimization model is established. The master problem is located at the system level, aiming to minimize the total cost including travel time, charging station queuing waiting time and charging cost, and update the actual travel time of each road section and the queuing time of each charging station according to the traffic flow of the whole network; especially when the traffic flow of a certain charging station exceeds the service capacity at a certain time period, the model simulates the congestion effect by increasing the queuing time cost. The sub-problem is located at the user level, which searches for the optimal path for each OD pair under the current road network state given by the master problem. The mileage anxiety constraint is explicitly introduced in the sub-problem, which requires the remaining electric quantity of the vehicle on any travel section of the highway to always be higher than the user's set safety threshold (such as 20%), forcing the user to plan the charging stop point in advance according to the electric quantity state in long-distance travel.
[0045] Step four: use an iterative algorithm to solve the multi-period highway traffic assignment model in step three, map the converged space-time path flow to charging demand, and obtain the space-time load distribution of each charging station on the highway.
[0046] This embodiment uses column generation algorithm to solve the master and sub-problems until the traffic flow distribution converges. The simulation results are shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 The load curve of each charging station presents a significant "double peak" characteristic throughout the day, i.e. the morning peak from 8-11 am and the afternoon to evening peak from 16-19 pm, which is highly consistent with the tidal rules of highway traffic during the day. At the same time, the load of different stations is significantly different, for example, the total charging quantity of charging station 8 is the highest and that of charging station 2 is the lowest throughout the day, reflecting the spatial imbalance of load, which is also consistent with the characteristics of actual highway network.
[0047] To analyze the impact of increased travel during holidays on highway charging load, the demand side is expanded from 30 OD pairs and 3480 vehicle trips to 70 OD pairs and 5680 vehicle trips. The simulation results are shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 It can be seen that the charging load of each station during the holiday is significantly increased at noon and in the evening, and the total charging quantity of charging station 4 increases more, and the distribution of total charging quantity throughout the day also tilts towards key stations, reflecting that the holiday peak puts higher requirements on the scale and layout of charging facilities.
[0048] To analyze the impact of changing the charging power of charging piles on highway charging load, station 6 and station 8 are configured as 150kW×20 guns, and station 2 and station 4 are still 180kW×20 guns. The simulation results are shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown in the figure, the daily charging amount of stations 6 and 8 is reduced, while the daily charging amount of stations 2 and 4 is increased, especially the largest increase is at station 4, which indicates that under the condition of unchanged total demand, the higher power station attracts part of the vehicles to charge, resulting in the transfer and redistribution of charging load in space and time.
