This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program grant awarded $199,933 to Central State University to develop an interaction-aware management framework to improve the efficiency and sustainability of the electric transportation and power grid systems. The 3-year project, beginning January 1, 2025, aims to create robust control models and incentive mechanisms to enable coordination between the self-interested electric vehicle (EV) and power grid systems. Key technical components include a reinforcement learning-based pricing model for power systems, a game-theoretic charging station selection method for EVs, and a multi-agent collaboration mechanism. The project also includes capacity-building, education, and outreach initiatives to promote participation of underrepresented minorities in the EV workforce. The award leverages Central State University's expertise as a historically Black, 1890 land-grant institution to advance sustainable transportation and power infrastructure solutions.
