Data for "Auditing Single-Agent Reinforcement Learning for EV Charging Assignment: A Protocol-Amended Comparison of Trained, Untrained, and Heuristic Policies"

2026Open accessMohammed V University

In plain language

This dataset provides raw benchmark records and verification files evaluating five algorithmic approaches for electric vehicle charging-station assignment. The evaluated methods include random selection, an adaptive heuristic, Q-learning, Deep Q-Networks, and Double Deep Q-Networks. Operational performance was simulated across real road networks representing Rabat and Tangier in Morocco using the SUMO traffic simulation platform. The repository contains seed-level experimental data, cryptographic provenance manifests, and diagnostic records comparing trained and untrained policies across three specific scenarios, alongside a legacy benchmark spanning 210 runs. Structured summary files supporting comparative analysis tables are also provided to ensure experimental verification. While simulation event logs and trained model weights are excluded from this initial release, the collection supplies the necessary empirical outputs to audit single-agent reinforcement learning against conventional heuristic rules under realistic urban conditions.

Key takeaways

  • Five allocation strategies for electric vehicle charging, spanning heuristic rules and reinforcement learning models, were benchmarked using simulated road networks.
  • The evaluation utilised real urban street layouts from Rabat and Tangier in Morocco within the SUMO traffic simulation environment.
  • The deposit supplies seed-level diagnostic data comparing trained, untrained, and heuristic policies across three testing scenarios and a legacy 210-run campaign.
  • Integrity of the benchmarking runs is established through included cryptographic provenance manifests.

Why it matters

Efficient charging allocation is vital for managing electric vehicle growth and preventing traffic bottlenecks. Providing transparent, seed-level simulation data helps researchers and infrastructure developers rigorously verify whether complex machine learning methods genuinely outperform simpler heuristic rules when directing vehicles to charging stations across real urban networks.

Commercialisation angle

The benchmark data could assist electric vehicle fleet operators and smart-city software developers evaluating automated charging assignment algorithms. As a preliminary, data-only deposit drawn from simulated traffic environments, the findings reflect early-stage research that requires implementation into live dispatch systems and physical trial validation before commercial deployment.

Abstract

Data for "Auditing Single-Agent Reinforcement Learning for EV Charging Assignment: A Protocol-Amended Comparison of Trained, Untrained, and Heuristic Policies" Raw seed-level data and campaign manifests for a benchmark of five agents (Random, Adaptive Heuristic, Q-Learning, DQN, Double DQN) on EV charging-station assignment, simulated on real Rabat and Tangier (Morocco) road networks in SUMO. Includes: campaign manifests with SHA-256 provenance, raw per-seed CSVs for the confirmatory trained/untrained diagnostic (three scenarios) and the legacy 210-run benchmark, and the JSON summaries behind the manuscript's result tables. Integrity verifiable via the included SHA-256 manifest. Preliminary, data-only deposit. Simulation event logs and trained model weights are not included in this version; available from the corresponding author on request.
