SynthCharge generator creates feasible EV routing instances for AI benchmarking

Researchers have developed SynthCharge, a new generator for electric vehicle routing problem instances. This tool aims to address the limitations of existing static datasets by creating diverse and feasible instances for benchmarking learning-based optimization models. SynthCharge incorporates adaptive scaling for battery capacity and strategic charging station placement, and it includes a screening process to filter out unsolvable scenarios, thereby supporting the systematic evaluation of emerging neural routing approaches.

    SynthCharge: An Electric Vehicle Routing Instance Generator with Feasibility Screening to Enable Learning-Based Optimization and Benchmarking

    arXiv:2603.03230v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The electric vehicle routing problem with time windows (EVRPTW) extends the classical VRPTW by introducing battery capacity constraints and charging station decisions. Existing benchmark datasets are often static and lack …
