Decision intelligence for electric bus charging scheduling through LLM-driven reward shaping and reinforcement learning
The rapid expansion of electric bus fleets has made charging scheduling a critical decision-intelligence problem in urban fleet-energy logistics. Reinforcement learning (RL) is promising for this problem, but reward function design still relies on manual trial-and-error and transfers poorly across scenarios. This paper develops an artificial intelligence and operations research (AI-OR) decision intelligence framework that integrates large language model (LLM)-driven reward shaping with RL-based sequential decisi…
An LLM-driven reward iteration framework for reinforcement learning scheduled electric bus charging at lower cost than traditional methods across synthetic and real-world Guangzhou bus station scenarios.
The reported savings are nominal within-day charging costs, and the lower 22.5 % figure relies on an approximate adjustment for energy left on board.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2177 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
