Abstract
A system and a method for managing a charging station allow charging a battery of a connected autonomous electric vehicle for carrying passengers in a controlled environment. A controller connected to the charging station determines and modulates a charging rate with which the charging station charges the battery based on a duration between a start of charging the vehicle and a forecasted time of start of duty mode of the vehicle. The duration is determined by the controller based on a forecasted passenger load as a function of time.
