Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 IPAC
Open Source Code No The paper does not contain an explicit statement or link indicating that the source code for the described methodology is publicly available.
Open Datasets Yes MDR is evaluated on EV charging data obtained from 252 public charging points in North East England through UK s Plugged-In-Places program [Office for Low Emission Vehicles, 2013]. The location of charging points was obtained from UK s National Charge Point Registry data [Office for Low Emission Vehicles, 2012]. Po I information is extracted from Open Street Map [Haklay and Weber, 2008] API for 11 categories... Finally, we use traffic data for each junction-to-junction link on major road networks, provided by [Department for Transport, 2013].
Dataset Splits Yes MDR is evaluated in a leave-one-out cross-validation manner by training on all but one instance (charging point) and testing on the left-out instance.
Hardware Specification Yes Intel(R) Xeon (R) CPU @ 2.2 GHz (16 cores), 32GB RAM, 64-bit Windows.
Software Dependencies Yes [CPLEX, 2009] IBM ILOG CPLEX. V12. 1: Users manual for CPLEX.
Experiment Setup Yes We assumed a Level 2 charging rate of 6.4k W and set, for each candidate site, Ni to be the minimum number of Level 2 charging spots necessary (using a queueing model) to ensure that the average peak-demand waiting time (taken as the estimated maximum hourly demand at the candidate site over two years) is less than 5 minutes. for both KP() and SC(), we choose the well-known greedy approximation algorithms introduced in [Vazirani, 2001], and for RANK(), we use the function proposed in Section 3.2.
