Charging path planning.

Charging path planning algorithm

InputThe charging feasibility road network

OutputThe necessary charging path between the start point and the endpoint

Step 1Given the set , initializing the distance from to each node in , and it is set to be infinite except the starting distance itself

Step 2Update all node distances in the set
Path[].add(s)
end if
end for

Step 3If , update all connected nodes
Path[].add()
end if
end for

Step 4Determining a series of charging stations from the starting point to the endpoint
